Reflection and Next Steps <br />1. What observations, reflections, or conclusions do you have regarding this <br />conversation? <br />Chair Jacobs pointed out that no one mentioned property as something to protect. He <br />said that this was very unusual. He also noted that four of the five County Commissioners have <br />agreed that January 26th will be the retreat. <br />Commissioner Foushee said that today was a good opportunity as a Board to talk about <br />Orange County and the legacy they want to leave, and it is also good to have a conversation <br />about structure. She said that she believes that the lack of structure has inhibited the County <br />from moving forward by being tied to doing things the same old way. She said that the <br />discussion today sets up a framework for moving forward. <br />Next Steps <br />• Conduct afull-day joint board-staff retreat on Saturday, January 26, 2008 to develop a <br />set of county-wide strategic goals that can guide the actions and decisions of board and <br />staff. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee, seconded by Commissioner Carey to <br />adjourn this meeting at 4:37 p.m. until Tuesday, December 11, 2007 at 6:45 p.m. in the BOCC <br />office at the Southern Human Services Center in Chapel Hill, N.C. <br />Barry Jacobs <br />Chair <br />Donna S.
