This year the County Manager and staff received' <br />direction from the Board at the January 16 retreat and a follow up goals work session on <br />February 15. Staff developed a set of proposed objectives for each of the goals <br />articulated by the Board, and in many cases updated the detailed action steps and <br />timetables for current goals that the Board indicated they would like to continue through <br />the new fiscal year. These draft goals were distributed to the Board at the beginning of <br />April. The Board discussed the proposed goals at their April 13, April 21, and May 11 <br />work sessions. <br />The Manager's June 10, 1999 memo regarding "Adoption of Proposed Goals for 1999- <br />2000" suggested that the Board plan to consider the goals as an element of the June 21 <br />regular meeting consent agenda, as at that point, there would have been the opportunity <br />to make all required modifications in accordance with the Board's direction at the May 11 <br />work session. <br />At that meeting, the Board identified each goal which at that point needed additional <br />refinement. Any goal which at that time the Board accepted as being in satisfactory shape, <br />is assumed to be ready to be adopted in that form at this June 21 meeting. Staff have <br />made no further changes to that group of goals, and they have not been copied and <br />redistributed with this abstract. <br />
