41 <br />Seven: <br />Solicit Ynore use of volunteer staffing. There are many volunteers <br />in use in several departments of county government. There are <br />probably more opportunities to use retirees IF departments are <br />encouraged to do so. Especially in roles of client greeters, phone <br />answering duties and general filing functions. <br />Eight: <br />Develop target measure comparisons of performance. There <br />are similar functions of service provided in Orange County in many <br />NC counties. Comparatives can be developed to act as a basis to <br />evaluate how services are delivered elsewhere. Learn from our <br />peers. <br />Nine: <br />Create a position of Grants Coordinator for ®range County. <br />Grants would still be pursued by individual departments BUT <br />centrally coordinated to maximize grant opportunities, research, <br />reporting and accountability. <br />Ten: <br />Create acounty-wide non-profit foundation. The purpose of this <br />proposal is to create a vehicle for citizens, other foundations and <br />any other group to `contribute' to atax-exempt organization that <br />would focus on various civic priorities. Possibilities exist that those <br />who would not give money to a government or government agency <br />would see an appropriately managed foundation positively. The <br />county might achieve some of its larger goals with less investment of <br />tax dollars. (I have used community based foundations/non-profits <br />to build libraries in Florida and North Carolina.) <br />4 <br />
