IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS <br /> In our review of the work trends and the development of strategies, it became clear <br /> that if we continue in our current mode, the number of outstanding work requests will <br /> grow ever larger. In addition, if our proposed priority system is approved, it is likely, <br /> given current staff levels and responsibilities, that much of the Class III and IV work <br /> will not be completed. This suggests two options. The first is to maintain the current <br /> service mix and increase staff. The second is to decrease workload to the level that the <br /> current staff can keep it under control. <br /> • <br /> 1. Maintain Current Services <br /> If we are to move to our proposed priority system, increase our attention to potentially <br /> hazardous trees and maintain our current service to the public without an unacceptable <br /> increase in outstanding requests, an increase in staff is necessary. To successfully <br /> implement this system will require a phase -in period of approximately 24 months and a <br /> minimum labor force of five climbing qualified individuals. This configuration will allow <br /> us to keep two two- person aerial lifts in regular operation. The section would be <br /> staffed as follows: <br /> Position Class Existing FTE Proposed FTE <br /> • <br />
