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. Y <br /> The Board reviewed the updated goals prepared by staff, during work sessions on June 2 and June 5. <br /> Staff have revised various goals to reflect comments from the Board during those work sessions. <br /> One goal -"Transportation Planning"-has since been revised to reflect a proposed quarterly public <br /> hearing in February 1998,rather than November 1997. All other goals reflect the same status as <br /> those transmitted with the June 30, 1997 meeting agenda. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the 1997-98 goals. <br />
