We need to determine where the items on the CJR list may fall on his priority list, but we need to allow him to do his job and she is confident that he is looking into things that we have not looked at before. She suggested to Mr. Lumbreras that the committee make a list of what they want to look at and work with staff to see what it will take to review the list, see what would need to come to council for authorization, and see where we are and where we want to go.
