LEGAL REVIEW: Not Required
REVIEWED BY: Douglas C. Walker
BACKGROUND: During the FY17 Five Year Plan and Annual Budget development and approval process, the Board, staff and the public had significant discussions about the multi-year fiscal needs of the County and the critical need to understand and address those needs on a long term basis. The FY17 adopted budget initiated a priority based budgeting process including Board work sessions and community engagement to determine strategic priorities and the funding necessary to support those priorities. Beginning last May the Board worked through a comprehensive process to identify and rank strategic priorities, review the County’s program and service inventory, and provide direction to shape the FY17 - 19 Strategic Plan and the balanced Two-Year Fiscal Plan adopted in November 2016. With the adoption of the FY18 Annual Budget, it is time to look ahead to the upcoming balanced Two Year Fiscal Plan/Five Year Plan process and to review progress to date related to the priority objectives of the Strategic Plan.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Mission: To enhance the well-being and quality of life for all citizens through the provision of the highest level of public service consistent with the prudent use of public funds.
DISCUSSION: This agenda item will provide a high level overview of milestones for the upcoming Two Year Fiscal Plan process within the context of the Five Year Plan. While the Two Year Fiscal Plan process will follow the same general steps as last year’s process, staff will suggest some adjustments due to where we are in the strategic planning cycle. Staff will also review the status of the County’s FY17 - 19 Strategic Plan priorities. Since the plan’s adoption in November, 2016, action items scheduled for completion during the first six months are finished and substantial progress has been made on other objectives as outlined in Attachment A. The attached progress report provides updates for short term and mid term objectives along with progress on those objectives that were identified as requiring further development. Staff has implemented project management processes and work groups to focus full effort towards obtaining results.
