2 <br />County staff has worked diligently to more fully develop the entire list of action items for the <br />Goals and Initiatives that resulted from this first retreat. This is a very long list of items that can <br />not possibly be accomplished nor budgeted for in the coming year. Although the Board is not <br />being asked to approve this list of action items tonight, those items that are included in the <br />Manager's Recommended FY 2008-09 Budget will be highlighted in the budget document you <br />receive at Tuesday night's meeting. During the Board's review of the recommended budget, <br />Commissioners can provide feedback as to which action items you want to have added or <br />deleted to the final FY 2008-09 budget. <br />FINANCIAL. IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with review and approval of the <br />Goals and Initiatives. Implementation of the various action items do have costs which can be <br />addressed through the Board's budget process. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br />1) Review and approve the Goals and Initiatives as initially expressed by the <br />Board, in conjunction with staff, at the February 8, 2008 BOCC Retreat; and <br />2) Plan to hold the next Board Retreat in mid-November, and to include all newly- <br />elected Commissioners as of the November 4, 2008 general election, so that <br />discussion of Board Goals, Initiatives and associated action items can move <br />forward in a more workable manner for potential inclusion of any necessary <br />funding in departmental budget requests for FY 2009-10. <br />
