Introduction In fiscal year 2007-2008, the Board of County Commissioners approved $1/432163 in funding to outside agencies associated with Human Services, Culture and Recreation and Public Safety. By allocating funds to these outside agencies, Orange County hopes to improve the quality of life for both the clients of these agencies and the community as a whole. Orange County and the funded agencies will continue to develop new performance measures and improve upon those included in this report. It is essential that the County, in cooperation with the agencies, continually assess the needs of the community. This will ensure the services provided, either solely by the County or in conjunction with the outside agencies, are responsive to the most urgent needs and issues that face our community.
