Regarding the galaxies of loose ends, he does not want to have <br />to list them all, but he would like to give staff direction that this is a priority to come back with <br />some kind of order. He wants a plan to get closure on these loose ends and he wants a matrix <br />for action. <br />Andy Sachs said that if all of the Space/Facilities/Construction Project Improvements are <br />loose ends, then he would say to vote for Loose Ends and Space/Facilities/Construction Project <br />Improvements will go along with that. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that she would like to go down the list as Andy Sachs said. <br />Chair Carey said that he is having problems with this process because the concept of <br />developing a plan to bring projects to closure is a good idea, but the question is whether to bring <br />it to closure this year or later. He said that only one person brought up the issue of solid waste <br />as a priority, but a very important decision must be made on this in the next few months. This <br />has to be dealt with. He made reference to the comment about diversity and justice and said <br />that he incorporates that into everything that the County does. <br />Andy Sachs suggested that the County Commissioners vote for things that they do not <br />want to fall under the cracks in the first cut. <br />Space/Facilities/Construction Project Improvements - 3 <br />Taxes - 5 <br />Capital budget - 2 <br />Economic development - 4 <br />Loose Ends/Catching Up - 5 <br />Parks - 2 <br />County Government Efficiency - 2 <br />Emergency Planning - 2 <br />Green Building - 4 <br />Land Preservation - 4 <br />School Facilities - 3 <br />School Funding Equity - 3 <br />Water Quality and Quantity - 2 <br />Affordable Housing - 3 <br />Aging - 0 <br />Agriculture - 2 <br />Air quality - 2 <br />
