reviewed with the intent to reduce the duplication of services and potential waste. He stated that union
members are in favor of looking into the matter.

discuss the process.

taking a closer look at the consolidation possibility. He noted that operational and legal questions must be
addressed.

group down into small task force groups for various research assignments. Each small group would report their
findings back to the steering committee.
Chief Wendelsdorf recommended that each of the governing bodies appoint a liaison to serve on the initial
committee. Mayor Nancolas suggested that City staff will be available for assistance in the areas as legal
concerns, financial matters, and human resources as needed.

Dear Ms. Scott:

Comprehensive Conservation Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for the Deer Flat National Wildlife
Refuge
In reviewing the document, it is evident to members of the Caldwell City Council that comments and options
expressed by the public to Refuge management were considered and included when composing this document.
The comparisons of the four management alternatives are easily understood and, again, reflect specific requests
and considerations by citizens of our community regarding the use of Lake Lowell.
Due to the importance of this issue, the information has been placed on the front page of the City of Caldwell's
