On worksh.oP day three teams will draft goal statements and alternative measures t.o resolve issues and needs in the planning area based on the issues and concerns presented to their groups, information gained during their field reconnaissance, and the expertise represented in each group. R.oving illustrators will be available to sketch example plan elements for public review. Facilitat.ors and recorders will help teams draft goal statements and alternative measures based on information gathered from the sessions on day one and refined through field reconnaissance and available data. Teams als.o need to identify parties resP.onsible for implementation, implementation time-frames, and example plan measures for illustration. Teams are encouraged t.o think of suggested plan measures in a basin-wide, integrated, comprehensive, and holistic manner. Many .of you already have a great deal of information and ideas of what can and/or should be done to effect beneficial changes in the basin. This is the time to pull all those ideas and information t.ogether into an integrated plan and in a manner which will help guide implementation. On the evening of w.orkshop day three team leaders or recorders will present prop.osals for public review in front of a studio and South Dakota Public Radio Network audience composed of the general public, local decisionmakers, and interest groups. Listeners will be able t.o call in with questions for planning teams on a 1-800 line. On workshop day four teams will revise plan elements based on public review. Team leaders will f.orm a core group to develop a comp.osite plan with .other team members in the background and 10-minute breaks every hour for input and caucusing. In addition, selected facilitators and/or team members will have the opportunity of carrying n.otes to the team leaders for input. Other facilitators and recorders will be available for process facilitati.on and recording. On w.orkshop day five, the final draft plan will be presented to local decisionmakers and regulat.ory .officials for approval. Grant-making/funding agencies will be available to answer questions on applying for funds. Facilitators and recorders will help direct applicants to pers.ons knowledgeable about grants in the applicants' area of interest and try to record any unmet needs (e.g., grant assistance not available for a specific area of interest [and the interested party or parties] and specific plan measures for which no applicants come forward). Comments on the process will be collected from local groups and individuals. The workshop staff will review the planning process t.o suggest future improvements. Facilitators and recorders should contribute to and record suggestions t.o improve the process. It is hoped that suggestions will cover both the facilitation .of the process and the process itself. The goal is to devel.op a process is locally supported, fast, efficient, effective, integrated, holistic, and comprehensive. W.orkshop foll.owup - Plan elements will be drafted into a coherent, professional document to solicit additional funds needed to pursue plan implementation and to facilitate future similar planning efforts. Services of a professional editor and document designer will be used to develop three publications. Two publications (the plan itself and one which describes the process followed) will be ab.out 50 pages each with plenty of illustrations .
