The assumptions that led to these initial <br />recommendations follow (note that whether proposed to be in or out initially, the following is a <br />list of those function discussed). <br />Functions initially considered for the new division: <br />• Parks Maintenance 40.0 FTE <br />• Parks Planning 5.0 FTE <br />• Urban Forestry 14.0 FTE <br />7 <br />
