Wendy Bisaro Frame Lake

I thank you for the explanation. I look forward to seeing more expenditures for Stanton upgrades at some point in the future.

I just want to make a general comment. When we made general comments, there was a response from one of the witnesses relative to the fact that we prioritize projects, giving them a number 1, 2 or 3, I gather. I think it was referencing projects other than the ones we are actually discussing.

The fact that we evaluate projects in terms of need is, I think, excellent, and I commend the staff for the work they do there. One of the difficulties I experience as a Member looking at these projects is not knowing how to prioritize one project over another.

Just a suggestion that if it works, perhaps they consider prioritizing and putting a number on a project to indicate the priority, whether it’s a priority 1, 2, 3 or 4. It might assist us in understanding how decisions are made, whether projects come forward or not, or why one project is moved forward ahead of another one.

See context to find out what was said next.
