FY 2024-25 County Events Calendar

 

On June 23, 2015, the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the County Event Policy and Procedure with the intent to plan and implement a master calendar of events to promote County programs to local residents. The FY 2024-25 County Events Calendar describes the updated events that have been planned at this time as Attachment G.

 

County of Orange Sponsorship Marketing Plan

 

Pursuant to Government Code Section 26110(2)(3), the Board shall annually review the County of Orange Sponsorship Marketing Plan (County Marketing Plan) and adopt the findings of that annual review by resolution.  To assist the Board in its annual review of the County Marketing Plan, the County Executive Office (CEO) conducts a review of County events that made use of the County Marketing Plan during consideration of the County Events Calendar within the annual budget process.  The results of CEO’s review for FY 2023-24 are attached as Attachment H.

 

FY 2024-25 Charitable Activities Plan

 

On February 26, 2019, the Board adopted Resolution 19-011, which consolidated all previous Board direction and procedures relating to County departments’ use and support of charitable organizations.  The Board approved CEO alignment of the filing of annual reports and approval of County departments’ planned activities in support of charitable organizations with the annual budgeting and budget adjustment reporting processes.  Accordingly, the CEO instructed County departments to provide their planned activities by March 1 of each year, as part of the budget adoption process for each fiscal year beginning with FY 2019-20.  The CEO seeks approval of the compiled planned activities in support of charitable organizations for FY 2024-25 (Attachment I), and recommends finding that those planned activities, per Government Code Section 26227, will serve a public purpose and are deemed necessary to meet the social needs of the population of the County.  Any deviations from the planned activities for FY 2024-25 will be presented as part of the budget adjustment reporting process.

FY 2024-25 Performance Audit Plan

 

On June 26, 2018, with the adoption of the FY 2018-19 Budget, the Board deleted the Performance Audit positions and directed the County Executive Office to use approved appropriations for contracted performance audit services instead.  The Board directed that going forward, the annual performance audit plan will be presented for Board consideration and approval with the budget development process, allowing audit work to begin closer to the start of the fiscal year.  Since then, the Board has annually approved the performance audit plans as part of the upcoming fiscal year’s budget development process.
