Ms. Frolik recalled that the issue was forwarded to Environmental <br />Specialist Bruce Bacon. The Committee suggested that the August 29 Task Force agenda <br />include an update on that issue from Mr. Bacon. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION REGARDING CONSULTANT SERVICES PROVIDED BY PRO- <br />SOURCE TECHNOLOGIES <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik stated that following a mid-year budget review by City Staff, it is apparent that <br />spending must be reduced in all areas. It is being requested that Pro-Source's participation in the <br />EPTF meetings be on an as-needed basis rather than regular attendance at all meetings. Mr. <br />McDilda stated that he would utilize his lap top equipment and assume Pro-Source's function of <br />facilitating the drafting of the ordinance by implementing the selected text. It was agreed that <br />Pro-Source's services could be more efficiently utilized on technical matters relating to <br />environmental issues and policies. <br /> <br />TREE ORDINANCE WORK SESSION <br /> <br />Authority and Power <br /> <br />1.
