Mayor's Taskforce on Growth Management Planning Tasks and Timeline Task 1: Create Mayor's Taskforce The City should appoint a Mayor's Taskforce with broad based representation--residents, business owners, officials, military and other major stakeholders.
Task 2: Distribute Previous Planning Documents The City will send to the ICDD and members of the Taskforce copies of all relevant planning efforts/ documents. The ICDD and Taskforce members will review these documents prior to the first planning meeting.
Task 3: Initial Taskforce Meetings The ICDD will develop an outline of the planning process, and outline the various roles for community members, including possible subcommittees. There will also be an initial discussion of the planned studies. The initial meeting will be face-to-face. Any follow-up meetings necessary to complete the process will be accomplished via conference calls. Task 4: Data Collection The City will contract with the Docking Institute to conduct a 5 minute telephone survey of the general public. This survey will be designed by the ICDD and Docking researchers to focus on growth issues in Junction City. The survey will be of 400 randomly chosen adults living in Junction City. The city will also contract with the Hugo Wall Center to conduct a study of the City's debt. Finally, the city staff will compile a report of the new developments in Junction City since the beginning of the BRAC build-up at Fort Riley, focusing on the number of new housing units and apartment units built, the percentage of these that are occupied, and the number of lots available for building. Also, some indication should be provided as to what percentage of the city's debt load is a function of the investments made to support these developments. Finally, the city staff will arrange a meeting between the Taskforce and the commanders at Fort Riley to ascertain the short and long term plans of the ARmy regarding the build-up at Fort Riley.
Task 5: Compilation and Reporting of Collected Data and Surveys The ICDD will gather the findings of these studies and compile these data analyses into a single "meta" report. The meta report simply combines all of the data analysis activities into a single report that uses a similar reporting format. This meta report will be copied electronically and distributed via PDF file to members of the Taskforce. Based on comments of the Taskforce, the ICDD will revise the meta report.
Task 6: Executive Summaries and Powerpoint Presentations The ICDD will create an executive summary and Powerpoint presentation of the important components of these data collection efforts.
Task 7: Taskforce Retreat A four to six hour Taskforce retreat will be held. The icdd recommends inviting other community leaders and the press to participate and report on the events.
Task 8: Town Hall meeting The Taskforce will organize a town hall meeting in Junction City. The Taskforce and the ICDD will present a summary of the Taskforce's work at the town hall meeting for public comment. Based on the comments, the draft report will be revised.
