Chair Foushee said that funding from governments should not be more than 35%of an agency's funding. Commissioner Yuhasz said that if the purpose is to not make them dependent on County dollars, then they should not be dependent on County dollars. Commissioner Jacobs suggested getting some data on what percentage of the County's funding makes up the total budgets of these entities. Commissioner Hemminger suggested leaving the percentage at no more than 50%for now. Commissioner Yuhasz suggested looking at a declining percentage. Chair Foushee said to use the target amount from last year's funding to start with as the total amount. The Board agreed. 4. Are there any other defining criteria the BOCC wants to assert for future Outside Agency selection and funding? Gwen Harvey said that this was a catch-all question.

Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to the net value of County space and said that he does not believe the County should be giving free space to any outside agency. Frank Clifton said that he will be bringing back to the Board of County Commissioners the draft facility policy on November 18th.

Commissioner Jacobs suggested some wording: "brokers of new partnership or collaboration of the County operating department, preferably related to support of social safety net." Chair Foushee asked about the"net value of facilities" and Frank Clifton said that he would categorize it and give a summary of what he finds and a best estimate of the value of those assets. 3. Review of the New Format for the County's Capital Investment Plan (CIP), Including Revisions to the Existing Capital Funding Policy and Dept Management Policy The Board reviewed proposed changes in format for the County's Capital Investment Plan, as well as changes in the Capital Funding Policy and Debt Management Policy included in the CIP.
