ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: May 6, 1998 <br />SUBJECT: 1998 -99 County Commissioners' Goals <br />DEPARTMENT: County Manager <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. �a -d <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) <br />BUDGET AMENDMENT: (Y/N) <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Draft Goals (distributed under separate cover) John Link, ext 2300 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732 -8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968 -4501 <br />Durham 688 -7331 <br />Mebane 227 -2031 <br />PURPOSE: To discuss proposed Board goals for fiscal year 1998 -99. <br />BACKGROUND: Each year, the Orange County Board of Commissioners holds an annual <br />planning and goal setting retreat that provides a forum for Commissioners to discuss their policy <br />priorities for the next fiscal year. The County Manager and staff receive direction from the Board at <br />this and subsequent meetings, and develop a set of proposed objectives, action steps, and timetables <br />for each goal articulated by the Board. These draft goals are presented to, and reviewed by, the <br />Board each Spring. The Manager incorporates any resources required to carry out these goals in his <br />recommended budget for the next fiscal year. The Board typically provides formal approval of the <br />goals before the new fiscal year begins on July 1. <br />As in past years, the proposed goals for the 1998 -99 fiscal year reflect primarily updates to goals <br />that the Board has pursued over the course of a number of years. This meeting provides an <br />opportunity for the Board to identify additions, deletions, or modifications they would like to make <br />to the set of proposed goals prior to their formal adoption. The Manager and staff will receive <br />Board comments and fashion any needed changes to the proposed goals, so they may be brought <br />back for approval by the Board prior to the new fiscal year beginning July 1, 1998. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report as <br />information, discuss the goals to the extent the Board deems appropriate at this time, and provide <br />direction to staff regarding a schedule for review and adoption of the 1998 -99 goals. <br />
