proposed process and provided the proposed framework.
The Committee provided the following feedback to staff and Ms. Aarons:
• It is important to understand the culture and needs of the organization and
taxpayers;
• There is a need for problem solvers, people who instigate change and the need to
reward accordingly; and,

Committee of the next steps in the project which will include a talent assessment of key
