ORANGE COUNTY Action Agenda ( BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Item No. -.- ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT MEETING DATE OCTOBER 20; .1987 ' 04 Subject: CONTINUATION OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL WORK GROUP Department: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Public Hearing: Yes % no Attachments: Information Contact: Shirley E. Marshall None Phone Numbers: 732-8181, 968-4501, 227-0231 PURPOSE: To discuss the continuation of the Intergovernmental Work Group • BACKGROUND: The working members of the Intergovernmental Work Group agree that: ( 1 ) there are many issues of concern to the three jurisdictions that can benefit from a mechanism by which representatives of the jurisdictions discuss and propose resolutions to them; (2) that a mechanism should exist among the jurisdictions to address issues that are not now identified, but which may arise and create dissension in the future; (3) that no further issues should be addressed until after the municipal elections, and (4) that the future of the group be discussed by the several jurisdictional boards as soon as possible. The members of the group do not agree that the present mechanism providing for a fixed representation, bi-weekly meetings, and internal agenda setting is the best mechanism. While a formal vote has not been taken, it appears that four members would like to continue on with no change and four members would prefer that: (1 ) all jurisdictions agree to talk on issues of mutual concern; (2) that each issue or, group of issues, be identified by the jurisdictional boards and that the members be appointed to discuss and propose resolutions to them who are most qualified and/or most interested in that issue, or, particular set of issues; (3) that an appropriate calendar of meetings be set for each issue, or group of issues, and, (4) that no meetings be held except to discuss such identified issues. RECOMMENDATION: Discuss and adopt a method of procedure.
