Follow-up Discussion for 2023/2024 Budget Retreat, BOCC Feedback and Direction, Next <br />Steps <br />• Mr. Carlson discussed the Intent of the Budget Retreat was to get County leadership on <br />the same page around a common set of high-altitude facts and assumptions, and noted <br />there could be a greater focus on individual department/division priorities in the future. He <br />also reqeusted feedback on how the Budget Retreat can be improved. <br />• Auditor Elliott: Agreed that a common set of facts is important and that should continue to <br />be a part of future retreats. There are also other models to consider such as a portion of <br />the retreat focused on priorities, and county wide analysis informed by high level facts, <br />assumptions, and projections. Then a separate portion dedicated to individual <br />department/division priorities. The Auditors Office will be sending out a survey to all <br />participants for additional feedback. <br />• Treasurer Cziske: Also agreed with the importance of developing a common <br />understanding for the whole county budget among Department Heads and Elected <br />Officials. Interested in ways to foster more engagement. <br />• Commissioner Osiadacz: Thought that the high-level understanding was good but that <br />there was also a lot of technical information that could have been targeted to the right <br />audience. Maybe this information could be presented in trainings that occur either during , <br />or outside of the Budget Retreat. <br />• Commissioner Wright discussed the possibility of a more targeted audience for future <br />Budget Retreats. <br />6.
