Attachment <br />Mr. John Link <br />County Manager <br />Orange County <br />June 11, 2001 <br />Dear John: <br />Thank you for meeting with me to discuss the possibility of engaging the Institute of <br />Government to provide consulting services to Orange County. Attached please find a proposal <br />to provide assistance related to improving Orange County's public and organizational <br />communications practices. The proposal contains a short description of the services to be <br />provided, my resume and a contract with the Institute of Government. <br />Essentially, I have proposed a process which benchmarks Orange County with peer <br />governmental units in terms of the organization and capacity of its existing communication <br />practices. This benchmarking process will incorporate the Organization Assessment -Plan and <br />Approach approved by the Orange County Commissioners on April 16, 2001 and the proposed <br />Strategic Communications Plan developed by several County Commissioners in 1999. This <br />process will provide a coherent framework and plan to implement improvements in the way in <br />which Orange County Commissioners and staff utilize the various media to communicate with <br />Orange County citizens. <br />John, I look forward to working with Orange County on this important project. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kevin FitrGerald <br />Planning Director <br />Center for Public Technology <br />Institute of Government <br />
