The process began in <br />earnest in January 1992 with a series of meetings involving service <br />deliverers and citizens from all parts of the County. These meetings <br />involved an "environmental scan" of issues affecting service delivery <br />now and others likely to have an impact in the future. Following <br />the environmental scan, seven sub - committees were established to <br />carry out the work of the strategic planning process. <br />The attached report from several members of the steering committee <br />_provides some additional information on progress and direction of the <br />subcommittees. Norm Gustaveson, chair of the steering committee, will <br />make some brief remarks and respond to questions from the Board. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the <br />report for information only at this time. <br />
