ACTIVITY
UpdatedI like the outdoors. Very large department.
The staffing recommendations need an implementation plan.
Refuge maintenance requires people and equipment on site.
Everybody says put people in the field, I have fields, you still need somebody who knows where the equipment is and somebody who can fix the equipment. Can't send an organizational chart out to mow, beautiful chart, grass keeps growing right through the meeting.
I want the gates open.
Any staffing changes need a cost and service assessment.
Then show me the actual savings, not a smaller headquarters box and a much bigger invoice for driving back to headquarters.
PUBLIC RECORD
The Washington Post reported November 7 that officials were considering National Park Service and Fish and Wildlife Service restructuring. FWS's November 6 refuge review recommends shifting headquarters and regional positions to refuges, expanding field law enforcement and sharing maintenance crews. The recommendations do not establish completed transfers or layoffs.
