How/Why spend $ on PWM Events (Jeff Ganieany & Jim <br /> McLaughlin) <br /> 1. Spend less on events <br /> We currently try to balance cost with comfort ,example providing a muffins during the <br /> morning hours so meeting attendees are focused on the subject and not their hunger ... <br /> We could re- consider the balance? <br /> 2. Price comparisons <br /> We currently attempt to use cost as a factor of consideration <br /> 3. Do away with public works day —use money for other events? <br /> The decision to hold PW day is not made a divisional level, this topic is discussed <br /> annually and it is felt that the residual value of the event still out weighs the hard costs <br /> associated with it <br /> 4.

Move Public Works day to weekend for more adults /older age group... <br /> See # 3 <br /> 6. More positive programs such as pothole program —high visibility programs $$ <br /> This is a re- occurring theme and additional work needs to be completed to frame this <br /> idea and develop a work plan. <br /> 7. Programs that "help" public in the city <br /> Examples of existing programs are: Wheel chair ramps, Interactive Ped Crossing devise, <br /> and the leaf pick up program. We could look into other jurisdictions for ideas of other <br /> programs. <br /> 8. Program that would allow public to "ride" along with dump trucks, etc. "like in <br /> police car" <br /> Additional work needs to be completed to frame this idea and develop a feasibility study <br /> 9. Publish what we do "e" how many miles of street sweeping or light bulbs make <br /> public see the amount of work we do... <br /> 21 <br />
