As the population <br /> has increased and service needs have undergone major changes, <br /> the role of county government has evolved to address those <br /> demands. Orange County is responsive to the needs of the <br /> citizenry. We recognize that the progress achieved and the <br /> challenges ahead, will continue to be met through a cooperative <br /> effort. We propose to again utilize "County Government Week" <br /> as an opportunity to recognize and express appreciation for the <br /> valuable contributions of volunteers in Orange County. After, <br /> such persons do not think of themselves as volunteers, but as <br /> citizens. Citizens in the fullest sense: Partners in the <br /> progress of Orange County Government. Further, we will use <br /> this time to also inform citizens about the many services <br /> offered and the challenges facing county government today. (See <br /> Attachment for Recommended Activities) . <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Adopt the proclamation and endorse the planned program <br /> activities to recognize volunteers and enhance citizen <br /> knowledge and understanding of county government today. <br />
