Staff presented <br /> a set of goals in these areas relative to a fiscal year 2010 baseline, and committed to annual <br /> updates on the County's performance relative to these goals. The 2011 report and presentation <br /> represented a subset of the larger body of "Environmental Responsibility in County <br /> Government" Goals adopted by the Board in December 2005. <br /> Similar performance reports on energy and the Environmental Responsibility Goal were <br /> presented in October 2012 and April 2014, in collaboration with the Department of Environment, <br /> Agriculture, Parks and Recreation ("DEAPR") and the Orange County Solid Waste Management <br /> Department. <br />
