Following the list of nine priorities, replace the two paragraphs on the bottom of page 1 with one paragraph : We are committed to providing Council with sound advice on issues related to natural resources throughout the year. Our priorities are reflected in the attached list of action items for 2007, which identifies issues that are already scheduled or that we anticipate will be considered during the year 2007 either by the full NRAB or by Board committees . The NRAB closely monitors Council 's six-month planning calendar for upcoming topics on which to provide recommendations . Unforeseen issues may also be addressed by the Board as they are brought before us by Council or staff. To the extent practicable, the timing of our consideration of items will closely parallel Council 's schedule, since many of the issues identified in this work plan are also in City Council 's Policy Agenda , 3 .
