3 Attachments 1, "Planning Director's Memo, 11/24/08", provides additional description of the items listed above plus a few additional items that are not being recommended for inclusion in the initial UDO such as Strategic Growth and Rural Conservation because of its complexity. Attachment 2, "County Attorney Memo, 1/29/09", reflects support for the completion of a UDO. New Ideas Item 3, A Process for Annual Comprehensive Plan Review and Work Plan Authorization — Following the initiation of items 1 and 2, Planning Staff intends to develop guidelines for staff and advisory boards to review the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and generate implementation ideas/strategies for BOCC consideration on an annual basis. These guidelines will be completed to be available for use during the FY 2010/2011 budget cycle. Guidelines will help ensure ongoing commitment to Plan implementation and maintain consistency in the collection and reporting of proposed implementation ideas/strategies to the BOCC. The identification of lead and contributing departments and advisory boards, coordination, community outreach, staff resources, and anticipated fiscal impacts are some of the items that can be addressed through the guidelines. Each year, Comprehensive Plan implementation work plans can be coordinated and prioritized by the BOCC. Input on guidelines will be requested from the Managers Office and the Departments of Economic Development; Environment and Resource Conservation; Housing and Community Development; and Parks and Recreation. Attachment 3, "Planning Department's Draft Work Plan", provides a snapshot of the Department's potential workload for the upcoming year, as it relates to all of the BOCC's FY 2009/2010 Priorities. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with receiving this report. Estimated costs for Items 1 and 2, as proposed, are $21,300 and $36,700, respectively. An additional $29,000 for permanent salaries has been included in the Planning Department's budget request to address items 1 and 2, as well as other BOCC priorities that will require staff resources of the Department. Costs will be provided by line item (i.e. printing, postage, contract services, etc.) as part of the agenda materials for the March 24th BOCC Budget Work Session. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board review Planning Staffs report for further consideration during the 2009/2010 budget process.
