ii. Further work is being explored for implantation in 2023 in the eastern half of Wisconsin (Fox Valley region and Milwaukee).

iii. SCLS continues to coordinate discussion groups on statewide data collection and delivery service standards.

c. Delivery Service Priorities:

i. Corey solicited the team for ideas related to “service priorities” in advance of the March All-directors meeting where more information will be gathered as an exercise to develop the 2023 Delivery budget

ii. Jen relayed that from her cluster, an inquiry was made about restoring Saturday service.  Corey explained that a return to Saturday service would come with a cost that we are not prepared to pass along.   The volume of materials moving late in the week would extend into a very light Saturday with up to 9 part-time staff members.  We currently are staffed with about 6 regular part-time staff members for the current workload.  We are evaluating volumes that can better highlight places where we can make a late return trip on Fridays to compensate for the vacated Saturday service.
