The attached resolution is the result of the findings and discussion of the group. As a result of the meeting, the group recommended that anon-discrimination clause be inserted into performance agreements between Orange County and non-departmental agencies. Attached is a SAMPLE PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT, for your review. As a follow-up to Commissioner requests, the County Budget staff is currently reviewing other aspects of the performance agreement. Staff anticipates bringing this information to the Board early in the 2001-02 budget planning process. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct, immediate financial impact associated with the adoption of the proposed non-discrimination policy. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached resolution.
