In addition to the consultant costs, there are costs for minutes recorders, <br /> advertising, and miscellaneous other expenses associated with a departmental advisory <br /> committee. Simply going through the process to select the committee would likely take <br /> 40 to 60 hours. At this time, given our existing workload, I would propose to go through <br /> this service level change process and begin formation of the committee in the summer of <br /> 1997. We just simply don't have the capacity to undertake the project at this time. <br /> Conclusion <br /> The existing workload is already heavy with no end in sight. We do plan to begin the Urban <br /> Forestry service profile process. I hope there is agreement to delay other projects; such as, the <br /> tree inventory, Urban Forestry procedures manual, and the department advisory committee. It <br /> also may mean further back log of Planning Division referrals. <br /> Let me know if you want all of this managed in a different manner. <br />
