This information may be used by Board <br /> of County Commissioners during its annual retreat as the Board considers policy goals and priorities for <br /> the future. The goals and priorities developed by the Board will then be used by the County Manager's <br /> Office to formulate budget recommendations, initiatives, and work plans for the next fiscal year. <br /> The internal needs identified during this process focus on how County government operates as an <br /> organization. The internal needs will largely be addressed by the County Manager's Office and the <br /> Management Support Services Team, but they are presented here to inform the Board of how internal <br /> priorities have been established and to highlight certain initiatives that may need to be supported by <br /> existing or additional financial resources. <br /> The external needs presented in this report represent policy concerns that are largely the purview of <br /> the Board of County Commissioners. They are presented here to convey the perspectives of <br /> Department Directors who are responsible for implementing Board policy and are leaders in their <br /> respective professional disciplines. <br /> Process <br /> The needs identification process was started by engaging each of the five (5) functional leadership <br /> teams.
