increase efficiency in the process by allowing us to train someone to perform the reviews and field <br /> evaluation that various PWM supervisory staff now perform (with limited responsiveness) and who would <br /> have direct participation with the various loan staff. <br /> If this position is approved we would work with Eileen's staff for a level of cross training so that some <br /> back -up support could be performed both them to us and vice versa. Currently we anticipate this person <br /> would be 2/3 time in the office and 1/3 time in the field. We would provide this person with a staff car <br /> which would need a parking assignment. Having someone in the PIC representing PWM should make us <br /> more responsive at the PIC counter. <br /> I hope this has been helpful. <br /> Johnny <br /> From: FINNEY Kevin P <br /> To: BELLMORE Mike; MEDLIN Johnny R; PLAMONDON Scott F <br /> Subject: Urban Forester, Tree Preservation and PIC processes <br /> Date: Thursday, February 01, 1996 4:51 PM <br /> Johnny, Scott and Mike: I've recently been assigned to track <br /> impending local land use regulations and their potential <br /> impacts on the permit processes at the PIC. In addition to <br /> the Tree Preservation program, we are aware of at least five <br /> new regulatory programs to be integrated into the existing PIC <br /> processes in the next 18 months. To the degree that we know <br /> how these programs will work, we will be able to prepare and <br /> redesign our operations to help implement the new programs. <br /> Marsha Miller, Keli Osborn and Dick Gassman have been <br /> forwarding materials to me from the programs which involve new <br /> regulations requiring PIC staff involvement in development <br /> assistance, permitting and /or enforcement activities. I'm <br /> asking for your help in two ways: <br /> 1) Some specific questions: Do you anticipate a change <br /> in the way that the Tree preservation program is implemented? <br /> That is, do you expect changes in the status quo? What <br /> changes do you anticipate? When will those changes occur? <br /> What role will the PIC staff play in the implementation? How <br /> will our referral processes change? What are your current <br /> plans for staffing? Will a staff person be assigned to <br /> full -time duty at the PIC? Part -time? Will PIC staff continue <br /> to screen building plans at intake and refer applicants to the <br /> Urban Forester's office, or will OF staff be available to meet <br /> with applicants at the PIC counter? What will be the role of <br /> the Land Use and Loan (PW Engineering) Staff in the <br /> implementation of the Tree Preservation program as you <br /> envision it? The role of other PIC staff? <br /> 2) As we try to get a picture of how the Tree <br /> Preservation program will be integrated into existing PIC <br /> processes, please forward to me any implementation timelines, <br /> program outlines or other information which you develop which <br /> might be helpful <br /> Thanks for any help you can give us, <br /> Kevin <br /> Page 2 <br />
