ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: October 3, 2000 <br />Action Age day <br />Item No. 11 - ~ <br />SUBJECT: Adoption ofi 2000-01 Commissioners' Goals <br />DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Proposed 2000-01 Goals <br />(revised and distributed in June 2000 <br />under separate cover) <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />John Link, Rod Visser, or Greg Wilder <br />ext 2300 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 96$-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To discuss and consider adoption of the Board's goals for FY 2000-01. <br />BACKGROUND: Each year, the Board of Commissioners holds an annual planning and goal <br />setting retreat that provides a forum for Commissioners to discuss their policy priorities for the <br />next fiscal year. The Board did not identify any new potential goals at their January 2000 <br />retreat. Earlier this spring, staff accordingly developed proposed updates to the detailed action <br />steps and timetables for the 1999-00 goals that would continue through the new fiscal year. <br />These draft goals were distributed to the Board in early June. <br />Discussion and adoption of the 2000-2001 BOCC goals was included on the June 29, 2000 <br />agenda, but was not completed due to the press of other time-sensitive matters. The Board <br />may wish to discuss and adopt the proposed goals now, and/or to identify any goals about <br />which additional information is needed or to which changes may be required. These would be <br />brought back for additional BOCC discussion and subsequent adoption later this year. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Th.e Board's approval of 2000-01 goals will generally involve the use of <br />existing staff and financial resources. In some cases, additional resources (for example, <br />reserves for affordable housing initiatives and implementation of recommendations from the <br />Master Aging Plan task farces) will be necessary. These have been included in the 2000-01 <br />budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the 2000-2001 <br />goals, and if necessary, to identify questions about or changes to other goals which will need to <br />be brought back for further BOCC discussion. <br />
