<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />.:.; <br /> <br />,,: ....... <br />Option C - Establish Assistant Commissioner for Salinity Control <br /> <br />~ <br />(..'1 <br />C,.,J <br />....} <br /> <br />Advantages <br /> <br />Disadvantages <br /> <br />Minimum organizational dis- <br />ruption. <br /> <br />No more ceiling slots required; <br />no more layers. <br /> <br />Other Service programs might suffer <br />because of priority trade off. <br /> <br />Would send signals internally <br />and externally that SCP has very <br />high priority within Service. <br /> <br />Bureau constituents-other than <br />Forum-would not like. <br /> <br />Process of establishing would <br />force Department, OMB, perhaps <br />Members of Congress to indicate <br />relative importance of SCPo <br /> <br />Probably politically infeasible- <br />both internally and externally. <br /> <br />Would combine authority and <br />responsibility under Regional <br />Director. <br /> <br />Would not especially eliminate <br />competition for resources within <br />the region. <br /> <br />Would be responsive to Forum. <br />Would minimize "mixed" messages <br />to field offices. <br /> <br />Option D - Move CRWQO to Salt Lake City, Utah <br /> <br />The following review team evaluation is based upon the assumption that <br />the CRWQO function would be traasferred in total to the UC Regional <br />Office at the level of an Assistant Regional Director. Other variations of <br />a move to Salt Lake are obviously available, but, of course, each one <br />considered will likely have an effect on the advantages and disadvantages <br />described above. The following is a list of some of the possible variations <br />that could be considered when analyzing this option. The structure and <br />operation of such an organization would have to be negotiated and agreed to <br />among the various individuals involved. Some approaches could include: <br /> <br />- Establishing CRWQO as a "matrix" type organization. <br />- Establishing position of Assistant Regional Director - Salinity. <br />- Providing specific delegated signatory authority to the position <br />for internal UC Region salinity matters. <br />- Having incumbent report administratively to the Assistant <br />Commissioner - planning and Operations. <br />- Retain specific delegated signatory authority as Chief, CRWQO <br />for Servicewide salinity matters. <br />- Having the Chief, CRWQO to continue to maintain a position of advocacy, <br />overall coordination and focal point for the entire SCPo <br /> <br />Option D - Move CRWQO to Salt Lake City, Utah <br /> <br />Advantages <br /> <br />Disadvantages <br /> <br />Would combine authority-responsibility <br />for a majority of the program. <br /> <br />Less visibility for SCPo <br />Confuses central contact point <br />concept. <br />
