INTRODUCTION <br /> At the beginning of this year the Arboriculture Section determined that a major review <br /> of its work program was needed. The group felt that the workload was increasing; that <br /> priorities weren't clear; and, that the group had very little control over its work. They <br /> engaged a facilitator and underwent a series of planning sessions which took the group <br /> through the development of a mission statement; the review of the current work <br /> environment; and the identification of issues and strategies to facilitate the processing <br /> and flow of City treework. The following report summarizes the results of those <br /> sessions. The work group would like to meet to discuss the issues identified at the end. <br /> The report is organized in the following sections: <br /> 1. MISSION STATEMENT <br /> 2. BACKGROUND - This section describes the existing philosophy and approach to <br /> the section's work. It describes the current services and conditions, identifies <br /> trends and describes the section's critical issues; <br /> 3. ISSUES & STRATEGIES - This section describes the issues the work group <br /> identified and outlines the strategies it has developed to address them; <br />
