Was given an outline of what the City staff for G.T. considers to be a priority project.
From reading through a few of the items, they seem to have lost sight of what is easily done and what is difficult. By this, I mean, if an item is, say 95% complete, then why not finish it off instead of starting a whole new project which is only 20% done and time consuming. By placing this nearly completed item at the top of the list, it can just as simply be completed, and bumped off the list altogether.
The thought here is that several of the items near the bottom of the list can be handled by one or two staff members and get handled in less than one day. In comparison to the others noted, there are those which will take 75% of the whole city staff, and involve numerous days of work.
Equally so, there are other items with a time factor involved here too. The stupid high school is supposed to go out for bid this month. The city is supposed to have all their facilities done and ready. Iff'n someone wanted to bring up the O.A.C. before the staff or council, would all work stop on the H.S. due to it having a lower priority?
No, solve the simple items first, so that they can be removed from the list altogether. Do some priority rating involving time too for some of the noted items would not be an economic loss to the city if monies and time were spent one or two years from now. (‘Course, some of the items are just fluff also, like the "Development of our faith based community" number 32 on the list.) The city has a Chamber of Commerce, let them handle some of the economic related items, so they can be bumped off the list also.
