3. DOMMIORincr a proposal for a system for identifying <br />human services priorities that takes account of <br />county-wide needs and resources and that em hasizes <br />revention evaluation and coordination. <br />The Task Force is developing a future planning <br />process to achieve this goal and will present the process <br />in the final report. <br />We are working on a plan that will offer <br />opportunities for increased communication among advisory <br />boards and funders and will encourage coordinated planning <br />efforts among the existing structures in the county. We <br />will also plan to educate the human services community <br />about the objectives of this process. <br />No matter what form the final procedure takes, we <br />know that the stages of the process will require broad - <br />based community participation from the private and public <br />sectors, including service recipients, providers, funders, <br />decision- makers, and elected officials. The success of <br />the process will depend on the commitment of the <br />participants and on their ability to see "the big picture" <br />of human services provision in the County. <br />4. Facilitating communication coordination and Joint <br />action in responding to human service priorities. <br />Human service providers in Orange County have <br />repeatedly demonstrated that they are willing to work <br />together to address any issue in need of attention. This <br />spirit of cooperation is certainly a valuable asset to the <br />citizens of Orange County. <br />The future planning process will build upon this <br />tradition of shared responsibility in addressing issues of <br />vital importance. <br />Page 3 <br />S <br />
