24 <br /> Slide #6 <br /> Discussion and Questions <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> 6 NORTH CAROLINA <br /> Caitlin Fenhagen said that at this point in the year it will be difficult to incorporate dramatic <br /> changes to the process. <br /> Commissioner Richards said that the timing is difficult. She said that there will be a <br /> strategic plan scorecard coming based on strategic plan performance measurements. <br /> Caitlin Fenhagen said that the Strategic Plan Coordinator, Kelly Guadalupe, was working <br /> on the scorecards and would have them ready by the end of the year. She said that those <br /> measures will be incorporated into the process. <br /> Commissioner Richards said that since the agencies support departments, understanding <br /> how they will be measured would be helpful. She asked if by the time an agency is selected if <br /> they will have the scorecard. She said the agencies won't have it by the time the application is <br /> released. <br /> Caitlin Fenhagen said that they will have objectives and they will be asked to come up <br /> with performance measures. <br /> Commissioner Richards clarified that it would be how agencies support the strategic plan. <br /> She thanked Caitlin Fenhagen for proposing a change to the scorecard for new agencies. <br /> Chair Bedford noted that the Board agreed with Commissioner Richards' comment. <br /> Commissioner Richards clarified that it should not be a problem if Chapel Hill and Orange <br /> County have different questions on the application. She said having a joint meeting would be <br /> productive in that they would hear all of the questions, but the criteria and selection rubrics would <br /> be different. <br /> Caitlin Fenhagen said they would continue to have the different scorecards. <br /> Commissioner McKee noted that the application in the agenda packet was for the previous <br /> year and that it would be updated for the next application cycle. <br /> Chair Bedford said that the proposed changes still keep a separation of the process from <br /> Board influence. She said that this is enough changes for one year. She said advisory boards <br /> don't always know of the various ways the county supports non-county agencies. She said that <br /> it would be good to have the strategic plan manager, department directors, Business Officer <br /> Melissa Allison, and the Deputy County Manager review the applications because they know more <br />
