4 <br /> <br />Benefits: The additional financial burdens of this plan are likely smaller than the first, as the land <br />would already be owned by the town, and the regular maintenance would likely remain constant <br />or decrease. Residents will still have access to public transportation and live within the preferred <br />school district. <br /> <br />Unintended Consequences <br />Plan 1: <br />The aforementioned discretionary spending reserved for the mobile home parks may be enough <br />to fund either plan, but it is possible that more funding may be necessary to purchase the <br />currently occupied land. This can be allocated from existing county discretionary spending or <br />raised through taxes. <br /> <br />Plan 2: <br />The second plan would require additional personnel. Personnel would be needed to help <br />relocate the families, receive and implement community input, address unintended <br />consequences and damage to property, and survey the community after the move. <br /> <br />Step 6: How to ensure communication, accountability, and evaluate results? <br />• It will be important to conduct a follow up survey, an effective way to gauge the effects of <br />our proposal. <br />○ In our follow-up survey, we can repeat questions from the initial survey to <br />measure how responses have changed as well as ask new questions regarding <br />the implementation and outcomes of our proposal. <br />○ In conducting a follow-up survey it would be important to not only reach the <br />families that participated in the initial survey to see where they ended up, but also <br />to reach other community members who may have initially declined participation <br />to hear their input. <br />References <br />D.

She said the students solely relied <br />on survey data, acknowledging that there are gaps in the data and it refreshed data is needed <br />to see if any participants that did not get to be part of the survey would like to be a part of it.
