4 1 Costs: Pay to relocate the residents (and their homes) to a plot of land owned by the County 2 within the preferred school system. The major expenses would be the physical relocation of the 3 mobile home park, as well as the establishment of proper sewage and electrical systems 4 5 Benefits: The additional financial burdens of this plan are likely smaller than the first, as the 6 land would already be owned by the town, and the regular maintenance would likely remain 7 constant or decrease. Residents will still have access to public transportation and live within the 8 preferred school district. 9 10 Unintended Consequences 11 Plan 1: 12 The aforementioned discretionary spending reserved for the mobile home parks may be 13 enough to fund either plan, but it is possible that more funding may be necessary to purchase 14 the currently occupied land. This can be allocated from existing county discretionary spending 15 or raised through taxes. 16 17 Plan 2: 18 The second plan would require additional personnel. Personnel would be needed to help 19 relocate the families, receive and implement community input, address unintended 20 consequences and damage to property, and survey the community after the move. 21 22 Step 6: How to ensure communication, accountability, and evaluate results? 23 It will be important to conduct a follow up survey, an effective way to gauge the effects 24 of our proposal. 25 o In our follow-up survey, we can repeat questions from the initial survey to 26 measure how responses have changed as well as ask new questions regarding 27 the implementation and outcomes of our proposal. 28 o In conducting a follow-up survey it would be important to not only reach the 29 families that participated in the initial survey to see where they ended up, but 30 also to reach other community members who may have initially declined 31 participation to hear their input. 32 33 D.
