The Chair suggested they go over the questions and recommendations in September, as a review. If they can solidify some of the recommendations prior to the holidays, then they will have accomplished something. The others agreed. The commissioners discussed who they wanted to appear on the August 17, 2006, agenda in addition to the Planning Department. Mr. Joseph suggested Civil Service as a back -up, and Ms. Nicholson suggested Research and Development. The Chair said to set the September 7, 2006, meeting aside to evaluate their recommendations, and then they could go back to the departments. The Chair said that on September 21, 2006, they could have the Civil Service Department appear, and possibly another department. They could hear Data Systems on October 5, 2006, and then Research & Development on October 19, 2006. Ms. Nicholson said they could also hear another speaker on October 19, 2006, from the Planning Department or Data Systems. 20. DISCUSSION OF ITEMS TO BE PLACED ON THE NEXT AGENDA The Chair noted they already covered this in discussing priorities. Ms. Garson said she could add a generic discussion on the final draft, so that if there is time they can jump into what they were planning to discuss on September 7, 2006. 21.
