The Board shared their comments regarding the presentation. Timothy Jecks,
Management and Budget Director, answered Board questions with Ms. Bailey Brown.
Mr. Gray advised during the budget session, if there is an issue, he wants the
Commissioners to bring it up. They will be letting the Board know what some of the
staff struggles are. Chairman Zembower asked for clarity that the two items on the
Recommendation/Requested Action slide are the only two things staff is still working
on. Mr. Jecks answered he would hesitate to say they are close to finished, but they
are making great strides. They do need to do an inventory of assets so that when
requests come through, they can put it in context. His only concern with that is that
getting an updated list of all assets into JD Edwards is going to be a challenge, but they
are committed to doing it. Ms. Bailey Brown added their inventory of assets has an
overly robust process. They inventory 100% of the County's assets every year. For
this endeavor, they focused on how the departments prioritize their capital assets that
they submit to OMB, and then understand the tools that they use and then
documenting that process. Ideally, they would like to have all of those assets
maintained in JD Edwards that they can pool so everyone is working from one source.
They aren't there yet, but it is something they intend to enforce. Mr. Gray noted he did
a gap analysis when he came on board to look at where the County's gaps were, and
this was probably one of the highest priorities.
Chairman Zembower recessed the meeting at 11:23 a.m., reconvening at 11:38 a.m.

Continued Emphasis on Affordable and Workforce Housing Initiatives
(Allison Thall, Communications Director)
Ms. Thall addressed the Board and reviewed Agenda Item 4 as outlined in the agenda
backup.
The Board shared their comments and asked questions regarding the presentation.
Chairman Zembower opined they may be able to remove this from the KSP list
because it is an ongoing initiative that they are already doing. Commissioner
Constantine agreed that it probably doesn't need to be as high of a priority.
Commissioner Dallari stated it's debatable whether or not it should stay a KSP, but it
does still need to be looked at.
5.
Develop and Implement Plans for Leadership, Succession, and Talent
Development (Christina Brandolini, Human Resources Director)
Ms. Brandolini addressed the Board and reviewed Agenda Item 5 as detailed in the
agenda backup.
The Board shared their comments and asked questions regarding the presentation.
Commissioner Lockhart stated it strikes her that staff training isn't mandatory. She
asked if that is a County Manager decision or something the Board has to weigh-in on.
Discussion ensued. Commissioner Lockhart requested the County Manager look into
making staff training courses mandatory instead of voluntary.
Mr. Gray noted Ms. Brandolini is getting ready to launch the County's internship
program, so the Board will be hearing more about that coming up. The Board
discussed whether or not this item should stay a KSP. Commissioner Constantine
