Attachment 2 2 goals. The memorandum provided at Attachment 3 provides more details regarding the CFE's rationale. The Manager has evaluated the prior discussion by the BOCC, as well as the feedback from the CFE. In light of all the input received, the Manager recommends that the Board consider moving forward with the abstract template provided at Attachment 4 and the environmental impact prompts provided in Attachment 5 which are based on the County's Environmental Responsibility Goal. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The addition of a consideration of environmental impact will add staff time to the development of agenda abstracts. To the extent that a consideration of environmental impact could lead to efficiencies in the use of County facilities and vehicles, the Iifecycle benefits of those efficiencies may lead to avoided costs. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable to this item: • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or policies. Including a section in every BOCC abstract that communicates expected environmental impacts will further institutionalize the consideration of the health of the environment in all County actions. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board consider approval of the abstract template provided at Attachment 4 incorporating an Environmental Impact section into agenda abstracts, and approval of the environmental impact prompts provided in Attachment 5 which are based on the County's Environmental Responsibility Goal.
