about it because I still don’t quite know how this is going to benefit the County. So maybe for now we should just put -Implement the use of Laserfiche for all departments when and where practical and leave it at that for now. How’s that? Work? MS. PROVALENKO: Works. MS. NICHOLSON: Number 6. How about we start by saying just –Solicit employee input on a regular basis. MR. ARMOUR: Instead of input would suggestions be better? Suggestions/recommendations. MS. NICHOLSON: Good. So -Solicit employees suggestions and recommendations on a regular basis including cost saving suggestions. Okay. Number 7. We’re getting towards the end but we still need to go back to Department-specific suggestions. So, Number 7, you like that as is? Number 8, that work? Okay, now let’s go back to Department-specific suggestions. We’re almost there. MS. PROVALENKO: I have to leave in about 10 minutes. MS. NICHOLSON: Do we want to do the Department-specific suggestions at the next meeting? So go over the rest of the agenda items now. MS. PROVALENKO: There’s like two pages. MS. NICHOLSON: There are a fair number of them. Yes, there are 22 of them. Okay so we’re going to put the D. Department-specific suggestions on the agenda for next time specifically. Well, actually MS. WONG: D which became E. MS. NICHOLSON: But we’re sort of looking at all of these each time anyway. DISCUSSION REGARDING ITEMS TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS TO BE PLACED IN DRAFT REPORT: MS. NICHOLSON: We don’t have any other items that came up today. DISCUSSION REGARDING APPROACH TO TAKE TO TIMELY ACCOMPLISH MANDATE OF THE COST OF GOVERNMENT COMMISSION: MS. NICHOLSON: Any suggestions, recommendations on Agenda Item 10? MS. WONG: I’d like to pose on that item that we’re holding up till the next meeting, the department-specific maybe you could, over the interim, look at that and come up with drafts so that we’re ready for the next meeting. MS. NICHOLSON: So review those items? 36
