r <br /> Bob Hammitt <br /> Volunteer Program Memo <br /> Page 2 <br /> I am not saying we cannot provide some level of support to both programs, but Urban Forestry was <br /> given new direction and encouragement to utilize the support staff. It isn't right to make it logistically <br /> unfeasible and inefficient for them to do that. After reviewing several of Scott's documents, I believe it <br /> is crucial that the support staff continue to assist with the support functions of that operation. <br /> Past experience tells me that moving them (Urban Forestry) away from the support staff will restrict <br /> our involvement, just as placing the Volunteer Program near the support staff operation will increase <br /> our involvement with that program. I guess the questions that need to be answered are, "How much <br /> support staff involvement do you want with each program area, and how do we accomplish that most <br /> effectively ? ". <br /> I agree with Carrie's concerns about the traffic in and out of the front office. Often times, the <br /> volunteers are picking up materials or equipment to accomplish their tasks. I would think housing them <br /> in an area closer to those items or in a place that allows for storage of some those materials would be <br /> more appropriate. <br /> I will support whatever decision is made, but would hope that you would hear our concerns and take <br /> them into consideration when making this decision. <br />
