We organized our efforts to address a theme which was to investigate the essential services of <br />County government. We then identified three overarching issues that the County must address: <br />Technology, Contracting, Collections and Fees. The Commission organized into subcommittees <br />and solicited input from all of the County’s workforce, its elected and appointed officials, and <br />members of other Boards and Commissions. We used the information and feedback to develop <br />the recommendations in this report. The specific recommendations of the Commission are <br />presented in a top down manner. First we present county-wide actions that need to be <br />addressed. Then we provide recommendations specific to some of the County’s departments. <br />Lastly we addressedchanges that impact the rank and file workers of the County. The bottom <br />line for our findings is that the way we do business as a local government has to change. <br />Summary of COGC FY 2011 Efforts (July 2010 –June 2011) <br />Theme: <br />Identify What Services the County is Responsible to Provide <br />Overarching Policy Issues: <br />Contracting Process * Collection & Fees * County Technology Plan <br /> Invited Department Heads, Corporation Counsel, and personnel who deal with these <br />processes and procedures to speak with COGC <br />Focus Areas (3 Subcommittees) <br />Operations/Budget Revenue Enhancement Technology Adoption <br />Recommendations and Collections <br />and Consolidation <br /> Analyzed Responses to Questionnaires and Conducted Interviews with Departments <br />and Personnel <br />Actions Taken by Commission: <br /> Provided a Questionnaire to County Agencies, Departments and Commissions via Letter <br /> Provided a Questionnaire to County Employees via Payroll Notice <br /> Logged and Categorized Responses to Questionnaires <br /> Received Presentation from County Green Team <br /> Analyzed Responses Regarding the Implementation Status & Adoption of 2007 COGC <br />Recommendations <br /> Requested and Received Results from an Employee Survey that Dominic Yagong <br />Conducted <br /> Received Presentations and Conducted Q&A with Specific Departments and County <br />Administration Offices <br /> Received and Incorporated Feedback on Draft COGC 2011 Report <br />4 <br /> <br />
