ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: Apri121, 1999 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. a <br />SUBJECT: Proposed 1999-2000 Board of Commissioners' Goals <br />DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING; (Y/1~ No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Proposed 1999-2000 Goals <br />(previously distributed under separate cover) <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />John Link or Rod Visser, ext 2300 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To complete discussion of the Board's proposed goals for 1999-2000. <br />BACKGROUND: Each year, the Boazd of Commissioners holds an annual planning and goal setting <br />retreat that provides a forum for Commissioners to discuss their policy priorities for the next, fiscal yeaz. <br />This year the County Manager and staff received direction from the Boazd at the January 16 retreat and a <br />follow up goals work session on February 15. Staff developed a set of proposed objectives for each of the <br />goals articulated by the Board, and in many cases updated the detailed action steps and timetables for <br />current goals that the Boazd indicated they would like to continue through the new fiscal yeaz. These draft <br />goals were distributed to the Boazd at the beginning of April. The Boazd began discussion of the <br />proposed goals at their April 13 work session. At this Apri121 work session, the Boazd may complete its <br />direction to the Manager so he can incorporate any resources required to carry out these goals in the <br />Manager's Recommended Budget for the next fiscal yeaz. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact from the discussion of the proposed goals. <br />However, the Board's approval of individual goals at this or subsequent meetings will in some cases <br />require the obligation of new resources and/or the dedication of portions of existing staff time to carry out <br />the action plans for those goals. The potential financial impacts and resource requirements are addressed <br />in each of the individual proposed goals. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss and/or adopt the proposed <br />goals, and provide appropriate direction to staff about additional work that may be required on specific <br />goals to prepare them for subsequent adoption by the Board. <br />
