In order to effectively engage the citizens of Galesburg in a meaningful and useful manner, it is imperative to employ two methods to gauge their preferences and allow them to voice their concerns. The first will be a photo questionnaire that is sent out to every member of the community via mail or email if one is one file, and the other will be a public hearing that will be held on a day of the community's choosing. This is their home, so the community should be as involved as possible in the process of improving the entrance along Illinois Route 150 that suits their needs, and preferences. The photo questionnaire portion of this process will be sent out two months in advance of the public hearing so that the information can accurately be …show more content…
Another element of the questionnaire is asking whether the community members would be willing to do a site visit prior to the public hearing. This will allow for them to appropriately understand the site prior to discussing it, and this will be a less formal setting, essentially a community gathering, with food, and games so the community can gather and speak in a lower stress, less formal setting. The photo questionnaire itself is going to show multiple different design approaches that could be used to resolve the route 150 issues. There will be multiple question sets starting with the lane reduction approach. This set will show the original site and context, then …show more content…
The issue with typical public hearings is, not everyone can attend, and not everyone who attends speaks. The first problem should have been alleviated by the fact questionnaire asking what times and dates worked best for the community in the photo questionnaire and set up the public hearing accordingly. The second part is more difficult to deal with, not everyone is comfortable speaking in public, or even at the community gathering they may not be comfortable coming up to strangers to voice their concerns. So, when everyone arrives on their way into the hearing a small survey will be given to them that also provides space for them to write down their concerns. This survey will not only gauge preference, but will also be asking some personal questions about age, race, and sex so that there can be an accurate measure of who showed up to the public hearing and different concerns of different subcultures. This survey will provide data that can be utilized in the future, that is more accurate than simply writing down what everyone says during the public hearing. For the public hearing, there will be multiple different design approaches shown that were created based off the results of the questionnaire, these designs will show the community what is possible, and that their input is being heard. Rather than asking them to pick a favorite of the bunch they will be asked to pick some
Typically, the Deer Crossing Homeowners’ Association board will meet once a quarter to solve community problems and disputes that arose during the past few months, but has never organized a separate council to conduct surveys to gain a better insight on other homeowner’s. Without this needed insight, decisions are being made without some of the homeowners’ knowledge or input. This is primarily due to the lack of interested citizens in the association. The assessment in the following pages identifies issues that have occurred, regarding delinquencies, disputes, and community involvement, with no true action taken to collect or interpret information and implement guidance on some of the local community agenda items that occur.
This year as an administrator in the building the survey would have come in handy in order for me to learn about some of the
...urrent businesses in place are not enough to put our city on the map, or to interest its youth. I urge our community to step forward, and our city officials to regard this with care. My proposal is best for the community as it does not require changes to current buildings, but instead encourages entirely new businesses to revive a wary group of consumers, and protect our youth from starting down a dangerous path. How else can we ever get the weatherman to list our city on the map?
The initial presentation of Parts 1 and 2 of this FiSuR to Council representatives is also part of the quality control process. The intention is to optimise the value added by survey activity from both a local and regional perspective. Once feedback from Council has been gained, recommendations and a thorough analysis of the findings will be provided.
The working document available to the public does not differentiate proposed changes from existing bylaws, and does not include relevant sections of acts or bylaws for reference, so does not give the public sufficient information to respond to. Also, many residents will not waste their time in these meetings, because they do not believe councilors base decisions on bylaws or public input anyway? Are councilors aware that many residents will not express concerns in public or in writing, for fear of repercussions from county staff? Do councilors believe this meeting to be fair public consultation in these circumstances, and if not, what plans will be made for more effective consultation?
I attended a Public hearing called by the Salt lake City Planning Commission on September 24, 2014. The hearing was titled "Zoning Map Amendment." In my paper I will delineate my observations from the meeting and comment on the different aspects that appeared remarkable to me in terms of the public engagement. I will also make recommendations wherever necessary.
3. What is the speakers' background, or what makes them qualified to talk on their particular topic?
This first question is the easy question and i made my mind on what methods i should pick. I pick a convenience methods even despite the flaws of creating a bias in result of an incompleted conclusion and this convenience methods also it may not represent the views of others student. But the methods itself is very lazy but the way to get people to do the survey by being up in their face and surveying two hunderd out of five thousand student that come to the liberty, really

I have to admit that I enjoyed my survey due to the various kinds of responses I got from the observers. While my partner recorded some observations, I was able to witness almost all the reactions due to my close proximity to the target individuals.
The first step in the needs assessment process involves determining when it will be done (Hodges & Videto, 2011). The needs assessment for this program will be completed by October 2014.
Then a council member would talk about what they recommend the council would do which was mostly emergency legislation. Each topic has a letter from the alphabet assigned to it. For example D was on the Topic of the authorization to enter into an agreement for professional engineering services relative to the Dussel/Salisbury corridor signal program modifications project. A woman called every member of the council by their last name, this is the time either they can say rather the agreed with the topic at hand with a simple yes or no. I noticed how respectful the council was with each other. They all waited for the Mayor to address them with a Mr., a Mrs., or President. They responded with a thank you Mayor before they started talking about the topic. Even though they was respectful they also like to have fun there were a few moments were they laughed. The Mayor also addressed us and explain that they were moving so fast because the topics already went from committees then administer and finally the council votes. The Mayor announced the hearing of the public. This is the time for the member of the community can talk about 3 minutes per
Third, ASC’s should know that the information within these ASC surveys (and non-ASC surveys) guide the Department in determining whether to grant or deny CON applications. Where a provider has failed to submit a survey, the Department and the parties are forced to ignore that provider in any decision or argument made. The absence of a survey will unfairly help or harm parties seeking CON approval from the Department. Simply put, if a survey does not exist, each party will use that fact for its own advantage in any litigated CON
April-May: After receiving the completed surveys, we will collect data and limit the respondents to the first acceptable 1,500 respondents. We will also send them the promised gift cards for their participation. The research team will analyze the data.
