In future years, this process will begin in August of each year with a staff- generated draft which will be reviewed initially by the Board of Commissioners and then sent to relevant advisory boards for further development of priorities for the coming fiscal year . The revised draft would be distributed to the Board of Commissioners at the December goal - setting retreat, and finalized during the budget/CIP process in the spring of each year . For the initial year of the program , the Board has authorized an Interim Action Plan to be created to guide Lands Legacy resource land purchases from the present through the fiscal year 2000 - 2001 (which begins on July 1 ) .

The document closes with a performance report for the previous year (which is incomplete in this case, since the program was just adopted ) .
