To work well, it would help if we have prioritized our work at the Council level to begin with.

--------------------- Chuck, this seems a little backwards and implies every current issue occupying staff time has greater priority than future ideas such as this. A better way to proceed is for Council to make as many requests of staff as we deem necessary. Staff management then respond and indicate resource constraints. They list the activities they are doing and request Council to prioritise the list. We prioritise. Staff act.
