CHCCS noted that all parties seemed to benefit from the <br />ongoing discussions that preceded the last budget process, and that this meeting would provide <br />a good opportunity for them to share an initial list of expected needs for the next budget year. <br />No Attachments <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact tied directly to the discussion at this <br />meeting. However, decisions that the BOCC will make at subsequent meetings are likely to <br />have significant implications for future capital and operating budgets. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the boards discuss the issues noted <br />and provide direction to staff, as appropriate. <br />
