4 • Why we Need Public Involvement — Show and discuss briefly what we have now (facilities and programs). Explain the goal of this public input — to help us to learn and consider the views of all interested citizens. What should our parks facilities and recreation programs look like? Do we need more /less? Do we need to do things differently? How should we work with and coordinate with the municipalities? Schools? Non - profit or private recreation providers? How can new ideas be implemented and paid for? We want to know what you (members of the public) think about our future. • Conduct Small Group Discussions — Divide into groups, with two staff /PRC - facilitator and note taker. Either assign themes to each group (1- low- impact parks, nature areas, trails; 2- active or sports parks; 3- recreation programs) or have mirror -image groups on key target questions. Review some survey questions related to the theme. • Small Group Reports — Facilitator takes notes. He or a group member reports back to the whole group on main points of their discussion. • Open to reflection on other group ideas, general questions, other ideas and comments. • Thanks and Adjourn Tools and Illustrations /Materials: • Map of existing Parks with facilities listing - orient • 1988 Parks Map —explain and compare • Master Plans for existing Parks with photos • Master Plans for Future Parks • Program Guides • Parks Locator Map running on Laptop with Screen and Projector • Copy of survey • Refreshments • Notepads and large pads /pens for group reports Publicize Meeting Through: • Newspaper (PSA, ad if necessary) • Websites (OC, Chapelboro, News of Orange, other) • Social Media (Facebook, Twitter) • PSA on WCHL.
