MS. NICHOLSON: <br />So, if we had something like, review and streamline procedures for <br />policing, what kind of employees? What’s better than nonproductive which still includes <br />nonproductive? <br />MR. ARMOUR: <br />I don’t know the correct term but I know what you mean. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />Employees who are not performing their jobs adequately? <br />MR. MATSUDA: <br />That’s nonproductive. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />Is it about the procedures or is it about the employee? <br />MR. MATSUDA: <br />It’s about employees and the procedures together. I just didn’t want <br />this completely, just left out. But coming from the commission, I will agree with <br />whatever we decide. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />But maybe we do want to sort of review and streamline. But how <br />are we describing –streamline the procedures for disciplining and releasing employees. <br />We’re not saying that’s nonproductive. <br />MS. PROVALENKO: <br />Cause that way it could be for anything. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />It could be for anything. That work? <br />Number 5, Cross train employees to improve efficiencies. Do we have to say <br />something about that? It seems to me like it needs something a little bit more. Cross <br />train employees <br />MS. PROVALENKO: <br />You know what, couldn’t 5 & 6 be combined somehow? Cause <br />you cross train employees to improve efficiencies so that you actually can pool that <br />clerical staff where needed. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />I think the cross training employee though wasn’t necessarily <br />clerical staff, so the clerical staff is sort of different. They overlap, but I think the cross <br />training employees came up having to do with the Planning Department. <br />MS. PROVALENKO: <br />Yeah. I think inspections and stuff. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />So, it’s cross training employees so that they are capable of <br />performing multiple functions or maybe it’s allowed to perform multiple functions? <br />MS. PROVALENKO: <br />Multi tasking. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />Okay. For now, let’s make it cross train employees to perform <br />multiple functions, and then we look at it again. <br />Pool Clerical staff where possible. Anything there? <br /> <br />Number 7. Number 8. Number 9. Is this already possible, Bill? Can hiring freezes be <br /> <br />implemented and then lifted? <br /> <br />30 <br /> <br />
