ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: August 30, 2007 Action Agenda Item No. 5 SUBJECT: Proposed 2008-18 Capital Investment Plan and 2008-09 Budget Timeline DEPARTMENT: County Manager, Budget PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENTS: INFORMATION CONTACTS: Fiscal Year 2008-09 Timelines and Laura Blackmon, (919) 245-2300 Milestones Donna Coffey, (919) 245-2151 PURPOSE: To approve the proposed 2008-18 Capital Investment Plan and 2008-09 Budget timeline and discuss strategies for setting Board and community priorities. BACKGROUND: During the Manager's review in June 2007, she proposed timelines for the upcoming 2008-18 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) and 2008-09 Budget. Since that time, staff has modified the original timeline slightly -more specifically by moving the CIP presentation from October 9, 2007 to October 23, 2007. The Manager has also proposed a facilitated '/2-day workshop for the Board to engage with County staff and focus on long-range plans by identifying goals and priorities. Should the Board approve Item 2 on this agenda (Changes in BOCC Regular Meeting Schedule for 2007), the workshop will be held on the afternoon of September 14, 2007 and will be facilitated by Dr. Phillip Boyle. This initial workshop, to be held at the Link Government Services Center in Hillsborough, will allow the Board to identify driving forces and challenges that currently or will soon face the County and then look for ways to navigate policy issues, balance choices and make collective decisions. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The approved 2007-08 General Fund budget includes funds to cover the anticipated facilitation cost. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the board approve the timeline and milestones for fiscal year 2008-09, discuss strategies for setting Board and community priorities, grid provide direction to staff, as appropriate.
