“The new organizational and reporting structure will better align operational requirements and provide the leadership necessary to meet Council and community expectations. I am confident in the ability of our Town staff and look forward to fulfilling the recommendations over time,” said Ms. Plouffe. “Early response to the recommendations in the final report include targeted recruitment and successfully filling several vacant management positions,” she continued.
