PLANNING,nAM MEETS IN A",,~EPARATE ROOM; THE RECORDER . List of the agencies, private groups, or individuals that should be responsible for implementing each suggested solution. . Possible sources of technical and financial assistance for each suggested measure. . A schedule for implementation of each suggested solution. These items are recorded on the flipchart and entered on the computer. Writing the ideas down helps clarify the group's thinking and make sure everyone is in agreement. A written record that the rest of the group can see keeps the discussion focused. Facilitators can help the teams plan their allocation of time during the day. One possibility is for the teams to use about 1'/, hours to develop the goals, issues, and needs; take about 21/2 hours to develop alternative solutions to resolve the issues and reach the goals; and then break for lunch. After lunch they could spend about 2 hours developing criteria to evaluate the suggested solutions and selecting the best ones, and another 2 hours identifying sources of technical and financial assistance, specifying responsible parties, and setting time frames for implementation. Each team should be given examples of both the paper and computer formats in which they are expected to pro- duce their reports. Illustrators can be available to sketch selected elements of the plan for public review. ,~.*~~ Teams are encouraged to think of suggested solutions in an integrated, comprehensive, and holistic manner, and to consider the vvhole planning area. STEP 29 Obtain more public input through a public meeting and/or broadcast. Representatives from each team present tentative proposals for review in front of a public audience. Questions for the planning teams are fielded. lllustrations completed so far are brought to the meeting. FOURTH DAY OF TilE WORKSHOP STEP 30 Remind teams to revise and update their suggested solutions. For about an hour, facilitators can help the teams revise their ideas based on public review from the night before and any interaction they have had with other teams. If some issues are covered by more than one team, it may be '....'orth\'-lhile to form an ad hoc "common issues" team that ,..,ill work solely on the common issues, rather than have several teams duplicating efforts. If needed, a special team could also work on intergovernmen- tal coordination and/or on how different grant and assistance programs can be integrated to solve com- plex problems. . -~ , i , :"
