Although these are stated in general terms, each should be broken down to points of study, conflict and method of accomplishment. Many of these items will be done by full-time personnel or other groups such as the Planning Commission; however, each should have priorities established and then be detailed by checklist for commitment to a specific completion program. There may be further items you would like added to this list. (See list attached.) Your cooperation in taking leadership of areas of greatest interest and ability would be very advantageous.
