I also suggest staff reports to the city commissioners INCLUDE the advantages AND disadvantages of staff proposals...many of the city's staff reports do not address consequences of motions, and leave the city commissioners with nothing to weigh in the balance. Staff studies and reports by business and military staffs do often address pro/con perspectives IF the decision makers set the standards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11068216.post-1204081459233225502007-08-24T21:00:00.000-07:002007-08-24T21:00:00.000-07:00Good questions indeed, Joe.

You have keen concepts and because of that (and surely other reasons too), you are doing a good job in your role as a County Commissioner.<BR/><BR/>Citizens can only hope that analytical questions will also be presented to the candidate(s) during the 2008 County Commission election. We should have the expectation of a certain level of ability from re-elected or newly elected local government officials that are actually paid a full time salary from the tax payers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11068216.post-221693010594201542007-08-24T10:10:00.000-07:002007-08-24T10:10:00.000-07:00Excellent questions!
