SUMMARY <br /> Our workplanning process has been very enlightening and has given us hope that our <br /> escalating workload can be effectively managed. We see ourselves in an environment <br /> with increasing demands from both external and internal customers while our staffing <br /> has remained static. We believe that an annual workplan, updated weekly, coupled <br /> with a priority system and staffing appropriate to the work requirements, will help us <br /> achieve our goal of ensuring public safety within the urban forest. The proposals in this <br /> report require a number of policy decisions. The fundamental decisions are: <br /> 1. What is to be the mix of services offered by the Arboriculture Section? <br /> 2. What level of tree care does the City wish to provide its citizens? <br /> 3. Should the Department seek support from Gas Tax revenue to increase staffing and <br /> services? <br /> 4. Is the Mission Statement acceptable? <br /> 5. Is the Priority System acceptable? <br />
