71, <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> INSPECTIONS <br /> Memo <br /> To: Assembly of Governments <br /> From: Orange County Planning Staff <br /> Date: October 24,2002 <br /> Re: Shaping Orange County's Future(SOCF)Report <br /> Following a unanimous vote of governing boards at the May 7, 2002, Assembly of Governments <br /> meeting, Orange County Planning staff was instructed to: <br /> Pursue a graphics specialist firm/company to: <br /> a. Prepare an abridged version of the report for a newspaper insert: and <br /> b. Do necessary style and format changes to the full 96-page report and publish it. <br /> Item "b"was accomplished by a college intern with Planning staff oversight this past summer <br /> and can be printed and distributed for review. Since it is an extensive color copy document, we <br /> will not produce it en masse until it is determined to be acceptable in this upgraded version. A <br /> few copies will be available at the October 30 Assembly of Governments meeting. <br /> Because of the widespread coverage it will receive as a newspaper insert, Item "a" will likely <br /> need professional treatment. Planning staff is making preliminary abridgements to the <br /> document, but it will be necessary to find suitable individuals/firms to handle this task (editing, <br /> layout, and graphics). Before proceeding further, we feel that a meeting to discuss the primary <br /> focus of the insert, distribution, number of copies, strategies, and desired outcomes is advisable. <br /> We would recommend a second meeting to bring in any input from the Mayors and Chairs, as <br /> well as Ellen Ironside and Jay Bryan from the Shaping Orange County's Future Task Force to <br /> get their input. <br /> A cost for preparation and publication of the report is unknown at this time. Questions related to <br /> number of pages(we have discussed eight in-house),color or black-and-white,ultimate distribution, <br /> and newspapers to be utilized need to be addressed. We have made calls to the three papers in Orange <br /> County concerning their distribution and determined the following: Chapel Hill Herald-25,000, <br /> Chapel Hill News-25,000, and the News of Orange County- 7,900. <br /> 11 1 <br />
