Following <br />discussion on this matter, representatives from Training Networks and city <br />staff received direction to revise this proposal so as to better fit within the <br />city's budget parameters. <br />The revised proposal as submitted by Training Networks, Inc., is included <br />with this agenda memo. <br />Background <br />Based on City Council direction in April, the latest proposal has been <br />condensed into what Training Networks believe would be a good start <br />towards .addressing the issues identified i.n the Needs Assessment Report. As <br />such, the total investment necessary to implement the various training and <br />facilitated planning exercises has been reduced to approximately $12,500. <br />Although reduced in scope, the revised proposal still includes a variety of <br />workshops and internal staff sessions to help address the issues related to <br />the city's review and permitting. process. <br />Ms. Sandra Bower, owner of Training Networks, Inc., 18072 Cleveland <br />Street, will be in attendance at the May 8 City Council meeting. She is <br />expected to provide an overview of the revised proposal and will outline how <br />it differs from the earlier proposal. <br />• <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
