Announcement from Acreton City Council
April 3
Acreton City Council will be creating a new task force charged with reducing unnecessary spending over the next fiscal year. The team of twelve people will be comprised of local business leaders, union representatives, civil servants, and financial consultants. Group members are due to be selected by the end of this month and will begin work almost immediately the following month planning ways to reduce annual local government costs by 10% over the next year by eliminating waste.
Applications for a position are being accepted at this time. Please contact the city council at [email protected] for any information about getting yourself or your organization involved in the project.
Question 158. What is the announcement mainly about?
Question 159. When is the group due to begin work?
Question 160. What should interested parties do to get involved?
Janet Logan | [2:15] | I just got off the phone and Mr. King informed me that he wanted his order a couple of weeks earlier than originally planned. Do you think this may be possible? |
Margaret Lee | [2:16] | There’s no problem on our end. We have all the fabrics ready and cut into their appropriate shapes and sizes. They are ready for the sewing machines. |
Jason Brown | [2:17] | My team is currently working on the orders from Mr. Bartelli. We have over 1000 units to sew and another order from Carla Bean after that. |
Janet Logan | [2:18] | Mr. Bartelli doesn’t need his order until the end of the month and Ms. Bean’s orders can wait until next week. I can authorize your team to begin this order first. |
Jason Brown | [2:19] | What is being made and how many units are needed? |
Janet Logan | [2:20] | Long-sleeved men’s dress shirts. We need 100 units in small, 300 in medium, 300 in large, and 100 in extra-large. |
Jason Brown | [2:21] | OK then, I think we can finish those in two days. |
Peter William | [2:22] | We can get buttons on all 800 units within 2-4 hours. |
Janet Logan | [2:23] | Thank you so much. I appreciate your help. I’m glad that we can accommodate one of our best clients this way. |
