A number of goals that have been <br /> substantially completed or are in an "ongoing" mode have not been <br /> included with the proposed goals for the new fiscal year, while several <br /> other goal statements have been prepared for issues discussed by the <br /> Board of Commissioners at their December 1995 annual planning retreat . <br /> The draft goals are being presented at the March 19 meeting for <br /> information only at this time. The Board may want to consider holding <br /> a public hearing on the draft goals at the April 16 meeting, with the <br /> option of either adopting the 1996-97 goals immediately after the <br /> public hearing, or of adopting them at the May 1 meeting. With either <br /> April 16 or May 1 adoption of the goals, the Manager will be able to <br /> consider the resources required to carry out the goals as he prepares <br /> the Manager' s Recommended Budget to be presented at the beginning of <br /> June. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board receive the <br /> proposed goals as information and provide direction on 'a schedule for <br /> review and adoption. <br />
