Those with revenue generating potential or immediate budget concern; B. Those with potential cost savings; C. All other. BACKGROUND: During Budget Committee deliberations and public hearings on the 1986-87 .budget, the Board made a number of referrals to departments and the County Administrator. Due to the large number of referrals, it was recognized that not all would receive the immediate attention of staff . The Board referred the matter of setting priority for the projects to. the Finance Committee The Finance Committee reviewed each referral at the Finance Committee meeting and suggests that the Board approve. a concept whereby those items with revenue generating potential and those of potential cost savings receive the highest priority; those with potential cost savings receive second priority, and those which do not affect either revenues or expendi- tures receive third priority. If such a method is followed, the referrals would receive attention as shown on the attached. Those which are high priority. are indicated by "A11 ; those which are second in priority are indicated by "B" ; and those with third priority are indicated by "C" . Applying this ranking . method results in a fairly even distribution of projects among the three categories.
