Staff developed a set of proposed objectives for each of the <br />goals articulated by the Boazd, and in many cases updated the detailed action steps and timetables for <br />current goals that the Board indicated they would like to continue through the new fiscal year. These draft <br />goals were distributed to the Board at the beginning of April. The Board discussed the proposed goals at <br />their April 13 and' Apri121 work session, and scheduled adoption of the goals for the May 11 work <br />session. <br />Staff have compiled a notebook for Commissioners with a complete, updated set of proposed goals for <br />1999-2000. This set of goals incorporates direction received from the Board at previous work sessions <br />and the written or oral comments received from individual Commissioners on other goals that were not <br />fully addressed during those work sessions. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Boazd's approval of goals will in some cases require the obligation of new <br />resources and/or the dedication of portions of existing staff time to carry out the action plans for those <br />goals. The potential financial impacts and resource requirements aze addressed in each of the individual <br />proposed goals. New resources required will be included in the Manager's recommended budget for <br />1999-2000, which will be presented to the Board at the end of May <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board make any final changes needed to <br />individual goals and then adopt the full set of Commissioners' 1999-2000 goals. <br />
