The work order <br />process included the appointment of a departmental liaison who is responsible <br />for the preparation and submission of all service requests for their department, <br />via a-mail, fax or inter-office courier for non-emergency work requests. <br />Emergency work requests are handled by telephone during operational hours or <br />through the on-call system during non-operational hours. A copy of the <br />memorandum from the Orange County Public Works Department Work to County <br />Department Heads explaining the work order process and computerized <br />maintenance management system is included as Appendix A. <br />FACILITIES NEEDS -IMPROVEMENTS AND FUNDING <br />In his budget message for the 1998-99 fiscal year, the County Manager <br />highlighted the Board of County Commissioners' (BOCC) desire to enhance the <br />commitment to preserving our investment in County buildings, which currently <br />exceeds $34.5 million.
