budget.

Importance of the mid-term for analyzing the strategic direction and goals facing county government.
Strategic issues will be evaluated and ranked on a level of commitment 0 = low and 10 = high importance
and timing Long Term 0 = low and 10 = immediate. Chair Krueger emphasizes there is no winners or
losers. We understand all strategic issues are important, nor is this about the creation of specifics for the

Chairperson of each committee had one minute to present each strategic issues. Chair reminded supervisors to rank each these issues. Ranking sheets were collected for subsequent compilation.
10) Presentation by Gary Becker of the Local Government Institute.
Chair introduced Gary Becker, Executive Director, Local Government Center. Gary continued with his
power point presentation on the qualities of effective elected officials leadership, the ability to balance both
campaign /leading modes, work with peers and constituents to establish a shared vision and goal for the
county. Collaboration is essential to create a purposeful relationship in which all parties strategically
choose to cooperate in order to accomplish a shared outcome. Collaboration needs a different kind of
leadership. It needs leaders who can safeguard the process, facilitate interactive frustration. Getting
difference from leadership is at the heart of the collaborative leader's task. You must learn to share control
and trust your peers. For moving forward, prepare how to handle conflict in advance, actively manage the
tension between focusing on delivery and on building relationships and sharing credit for accomplishments.
In closing, he summarized key points to remember for discussion of strategic issues. Questions of
supervisors at this time.
