NRC NEWS:
 
AT LAST!  We are working with management to create work groups to re-evaluate the Critical Element 5, Mission Statement for NRC Specialist.  We will also be looking into ways to streamline the work as it does not look very promising in the future in hiring and back filling the specialist positions at the NRC.  The work continues to increase monthly, but the work force in this office has been trimmed year over year.  We hope to work with management to find ways to improve service and lessen the workload on each specialist.  We also hope to obtain more reasonable and attainable goals in our mission statement.  All concerns and comments should be e-mailed to Theresa Webster (Tax) and Dottie Howlett (Permit).
