The County presents this workshop as a strategic planning session where Board objectives for the coming year are shaped. Year after year, the same objectives reappear: homelessness, housing, economic development, broadband, emergency preparedness, climate resilience, cannabis regulation. There is no presentation from the Sheriff’s Department, despite ongoing discussions about homelessness, public safety impacts, and emergency response. By consolidating objectives and making them countywide priorities, the annual workshop could shift from managing presentations to producing results.
