Link, Jr., Assistant County 14 Managers Albert Kittrell and Rod Visser and Clerk to the Board Beverly A. 15 Blythe (All other staff members are identified appropriately below) 16 17 REVIEW AND CONFIRMATION OF THE 1994-95 BOCC GOALS 18 Chair Carey asked the County Commissioners to look at the time schedule 19 for each goal and make modifications or suggestions. 20 21 Commissioner Gordon suggested approving the goals in January or February 22 after the December Goal-Setting Retreat and in six months review and confirm 23 those goals. 24 Commissioner Willhoit said, from a planning standpoint and budget 25 standpoint, adoption of the goals should be at the time the budget which will fund the goals/workplan is adopted. He feels periodic updates should be provided so the Board can continually evaluate the goals. He suggested taking a look at one goal a month. If something comes up that needs attention, it 29 can be brought up at any time. 30 Chair Carey mentioned that the Board did not approve these in February 31 because they asked for implementation costs which took some time to develop. 32 Commissioner Willhoit noted that there is never a critical debate on the 33 goals. They never ask what setting a specific goal will displace. The Board 34 does not vote on each item but votes on the goals as a package. 35 Commissioner Gordon suggested that the Board do a critical review of the 36 goals in February and March and finalize them before the Manager presents his 37 budget. 38 Commissioner Willhoit asked that the following four items be added to the 39 goals: 40 1. Volunteer Satisfaction Survey 41 2. County Government Computer Future 42 3. Efland Sewer 43 4. School Board Work Sessions 44 45 He asked if these goals would displace anything, but the staff did not 46 have that information immediately available. The Board agreed to add 47 Commissioner Willhoit's goals 2 and 4 above, but deferred discussion on the 48 other two goals concerning the survey and the sewer until a later meeting. 49 50 Commissioner Gordon asked about the templates for residential development and Planning Director Marvin Collins explained that they can compute how much of everything is needed including the capital needed for residential development. The payment-in-lieu is dependent upon the last evaluation.
