BACKGROUND: Recently, the Board received a report from the Committee on Funding County Services. The report made several points, among them: 1) The Committee had reached one unanimous conclusion--that it is "obvious to anyone who studies County government that there are many existing programs which are underfunded and many more vitally needed programs which do not exist at all and should be funded. " 2) The Committee would like to know of the Board' s priorities before a final recommendation is made. 3) The funding issues are of a sufficient long-term nature that consideration of their recommendations with the 1987-88 Final Budget was not recommended. The Finance Committee discussed these issues and proposes the following course of action: 1) That the Board proceed with Budget Committee deliberations, during which priorities for 1987-88 will be established and funding shortfalls will be identified. 2) That staff be directed to develop a response to the Committee incorporating actions taken by the Board in adopting the final budget, and reiterating the initial direction of the Board to consider timing, possibility of passage and all possible sources of funding. 3 ) That this response be returned to the Finance Committee for review prior to going to the full Board.
