Overall the effort will be to limit proposals and prioritize issues. Comment was made that permit review resources being driven by expedited review for economic concern is good but creates a delay for regular projects that have been waiting in line. A package of common sense proposals will be drafted for possible legislative action. A program of personnel development reviews is included to tie individual efforts to workplans and seek ideas or tools required to accomplish Department goals. A certification program may result.
Comments are welcome.
Next meetings set for January 6, and March 23, 2000.
