2 <br /> SUGGESTED ADDITIONS TO 1994-95 GOALS <br /> 1. VOLUNTEER SATISFACTION SURVEY <br /> • <br /> Conduct a survey of former volunteers(members of OC boards,committees, task forces, etc.)to determine level of <br /> satisfaction end suggestions for improvements. For example, was their service adequately recognized, should they <br /> have had more(or less)involvement by the BOC, if not satisfied what would they suggest to improve the <br /> experience, etc. <br /> 2. COUNTY GOVERNMENT COMPUTER FUTURE <br /> Is OC going to have an on-ramp to the Information Hwy? Why haven't County offices moved to a pc network- <br /> based Windows operating environment? I would suggest a short-lived committee of citizen"experts"to consider <br /> the alternatives if there is not a consensus that we should move to the Windows environment. <br /> 3. EFLAND SEWER <br /> • Proceed with engineering work to identify parcels that may reasonable be served by the County's sewer line, to <br /> include original petition signees. <br /> • Request Economic Development Commission to prepare an economic development plan for the Buckhom <br /> Interchange area based on the assumption that sewer service to the area will be provided. <br /> • Prepare a financing strategy/options for funding the expansion of the Efland sewer system, including <br /> consideration of establishing a sanitary tax district. <br /> 4. SCHOOL BOARD WORK SESSIONS <br /> Schedule a series of work sessions with the school boards to bring about a common understanding on key issues <br /> and to continue long-range planning efforts. These discussions may help to alleviate the crisis atmosphere that <br /> frequently surrounds the annual budget work"sessions. Key issues that I would like to be considered for work <br /> sessions include: <br /> • The technology programs for each system, including means of providing technical support for maintenance <br /> and development. <br /> • Teacher salary schedules, turnover rates, and prospects for a common pay plan for both systems. <br /> • Emerging educational programming theories and implications for space and staff. <br /> • Identification of future school sites(50 yr plan?),plan for acquisition,and interim use for recreation and <br /> parks. <br /> Don Willhoit <br /> OC_G&O/0994 <br />
