The County Manager and staff receive direction from the Board at this and subsequent <br /> meetings, and develop a set of proposed objectives, action steps, and timetables for each goal <br /> articulated by the Board. These draft goals are presented to, and reviewed by,the Board each <br /> 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 1997-98 fiscal year reflect primarily updates to goals <br /> that the Board has pursued over the course of a number of years. The Manager will briefly present <br /> the proposed goals, as prepared by staff, and solicit direction from the Board concerning how they <br /> wish to proceed with discussion, deliberation, and approval of these goals during the next several <br /> months. <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 1997-98 goals. <br />
