PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. RCW Chapter 41.56 requires the Port of Seattle to collectively bargain wages, hours and working conditions with the exclusive bargaining representative designated by the employees.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. Explain why the project is needed, including the scope and appropriate detail on the project’s uniqueness and complexity. Describe specific deficiencies such as pavement cracking, edge xxxxxxxx, surface deterioration, substandard geometrics, etc. Include and separately identify any 100% locally funded components of the project that are part of the overall improvement.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSISTENCY OF THE PROJECT WITH:
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. Project Sketch (if necessary)
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. This project is needed to comply with the County's MS4 permitting requirements in a cost-effective manner, to implement the County's adopted water quality goals (Chapter 19, Article IV), and to protect habitat conditions in local streams.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. Compliance with RCW Chapter 70.48 City and County Jails Act. Maintain a reliable jail facility for booking and housing Port of Seattle inmates. The Port continues to work toward a service agreement with the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) facility that sits on property once owned by the Port of Seattle. The long-term plan is to use this less expensive facility to house the majority of our misdemeanor prisoners; however, the logistics of prisoner movement and supervision have delayed the process. Once in place, there may still be occasions where it is more appropriate to use the King County Jail and that facility is required for felony bookings.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. The Frontline Supervision six-day course is required for anyone who supervises or manages others at the Port. Indeed, the course is strongly recommended even for more experienced individuals who join the organization mid-career, because it addresses specific expectations for leading and managing within the guidelines of our Port values, policies, and current initiatives. This course and the modules within it help minimize legal risk to the organization by deepening participant understanding of the rights and responsibilities associated with leading and managing others in ways aligned with core Port values in accomplishing its mission and vision. Moreover, managers frequently ask for additional training follow up or for customized versions of the course modules so they can apply the frameworks and tools in their unique work environments. Without the availability of the course, HR&D or Workplace Integrity staff would need to guide individuals on a one-to-one basis. • Module 1: Setting People up for Success • Module 2: It's About Respect • Module 3: Aha! Problem Solving • Module 4: Employment Laws and Port Policies Part I • Module 5: Employment Laws and Port Policies Part II • Module 6: Say What? Building Feedback Skills • Module 7: Diagnosing the Situation • Module 8: Leadership and Motivation • Module 9: Better Together: Building Positive Relationships • Module 10: High Performance Workplace: Setting Goals and Expectations • Module 11: All Ready Now: Supervisory Challenges and Opportunities • Module 12: It's Your Life: Being an Employer and Employee of Choice HR&D expenses $22,470 of the $60,000 in their annual budget; the remaining $37,530 is optionally available to meet business unit needs and is funded by their approved operating budgets.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. Communities living in rural areas are closely involved in the use of forest resources. Therefore, the forest policies and decisions made at the central, provincial, district and community levels directly and indirectly affect people’s everyday subsistence and lives. Better information will most likely lead policy and decision makers to make better decisions on, for example, community based forest management, and thus improve people’s living conditions. And the only way for any policies to succeed is if they are based on a thorough understanding of local people’s livelihood strategies and help to create viable livelihoods while conserving the natural resource base. The ILUA project (2005-2008) produced a remarkable set of information not only on forest resources, but also on local communities and their use of the resource. The ILUA database with derived informative products, such as statistics and maps, contain a valuable source of information for the government administration, NGOs and the public. The analysis of ILUA data and linking it to ancillary and other geo-spatial data, with special attention to pertinent socio-economic, agricultural and climate change issues in the country, can help to inform policy decision making and facilitate monitoring and evaluation of policy impacts. Still there are many improvements to be made in terms of filling the information needs for XXXX monitoring and GHP reporting, dissemination and use of the information in the forestry and other sectors, stakeholder organizations and communities, especially at the province and district levels. Therefore the project aims to make information complete and available with information linked to large scale environmental reporting activities carried out by CSO, MTENR, ECZ, FAO and international organizations. As stated in the Fifth National Development Plan 2006–2010, environmental and climate change issues are emphasized on the government's agenda and many internationally supported processes. the Government of the Republic of Zambia is a signatory to a number of international conventions and protocols on the protection of the environment and biodiversity conservation. These include Agenda 21, Convention on Biological Diversity, United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, Forest Principles, the Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered species of Flora and Fauna. Adaptation to climate change in the forestry and agriculture sectors is c...
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION. South Africa seeks capacity and skills development for methods and data that would enable the authorities, investors, power sector and industry to investigate and plan for large-scale exploitation of wind power for electricity generation. This requires a methodology for mapping the wind resources on national and regional scales, as well as tools for estimating reliably the annual energy production (AEP) of proposed wind farms all over South Africa. This twinning agreement outlines how a Numerical Wind Atlas for South Africa (WASA) – based on a state-of-the-art approach employing mesoscale modelling, measurements and microscale modelling – will be developed. The South African National Energy Research Institute (SANERI) was established under a Ministerial Directive in October 2004 as part of the CEF Group of Companies. SANERI became operational through the joint efforts of the Department of Minerals and Energy and Department of Science and Technology. SANERI’s primary mandate is to undertake non-nuclear energy research. Recognizing the limitation of human capacity for large scale research in this area, national government also mandated SANERI to commission, fund and direct non-nuclear research whilst it builds up its internal capacity. SANERI reports to the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME). SANERI’s objectives are to: Increase energy research, development and innovation in South Africa Support government goals of energy security of supply through identifying viable and sustainable diversified energy supply options Act as a national energy research information repository Increase human capacity in energy research Transform the composition of energy researchers to more adequately represent the demographic profile of the country in terms of gender and race. Since becoming fully operational in December 2006, SANERI has, through a competitive bid process, funded over 50 research projects with a total budget of over R80 million, supported over 100 postgraduate students in energy research in universities across the country, established 4 chairs of energy research, established the Hub of Energy Efficiency and demand Side Management (University of Pretoria) and the Hub of Renewable and Sustainable Energy (University of Stellenbosch) with 3 Spokes (Solar Thermal, Solar PV and Wind) at other institutions. SANERI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CEF Group and therefore has a close working relationshi...
