MS. NICHOLSON: <br />And do we want to try and put a deadline on this? <br />MS. WONG: <br />I think getting them to respond might, oh no, we’re doing to department <br />heads? Yeah. Let’s do a deadline. I was thinking about the officers of the <br />commissions and it would take a while to get a response. But if it’s the departments, <br />yeah. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />Like 30 days after the letter goes out? <br />MR. TAKABA: <br />You should also find out like how much money this will save. I’m not <br />sure how often like the Arborist Committee meets. I think the purpose of that one was if <br />they’re going to cut a tree, if Parks and Recreation is going to cut a tree down, then they <br />would approach the Arborist Committee and get feedback from them. And I’m not sure <br />if they meet regularly or only if needed. The Pension Board is not up there but the <br />Pension Board would meet, at best, once every four months, whenever there’s an issue. <br />And eventually it’s going to probably phase out. There are no more pensioners in the <br />County. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />But that’s the kind of feedback we would expect to get from them <br />saying there is a need, they only meet when they need to. So obviously there’s not a lot <br />of cost savings. <br />MR. TAKABA: <br />Yeah. So you might want to target consolidating where it makes sense <br />and where you can save money from. So if they’re not spending anything or spend very <br />little, then I don’t know if it’s worth the effort to go and consolidate. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />Especially since there is some citizen involvement there. <br />MR. TAKABA: <br />And some of them have special skills too, like the Arborist Committee. <br />These are people who know about trees and preservations. And Ag would be a <br />different type of knowledge. And that may come up when you pose the question. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />I think wejust have to see how they respond. So, do we want try <br />to put a deadline on these? Like six weeks? 30 days? What’s your pleasure? <br />MS. WONG: <br />Sometime in February. We have a short time left. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />Well, we don’t when you’re going to get your summaries done so <br />MS. WONG: <br />This week. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />So, when is our first meeting in March? If we get it by the end of <br />February, then we could be looking at them in <br />ththrd <br />MS. WONG: <br />The 11in March is a scheduled meeting. The 11and 23in March. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />So if we ask for responses by the end of February? <br />14 <br /> <br />
