Format for Final Report......

[Wuptdo]

Just brain storming here, but trying to think ahead to next meeting.

For the final report, I believe we should start with our Mission Statement and then our top ten "statement of principles."

Part One, CIP: I think if the committee has an issue that is higher priority or needs additional funding we list that issue only. Then if there is an issue that we recommend lower priority or reduced funding we list that item. After each line item we also add a "arrow up" or "arrow down."
(A KISS Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet should do the trick)

Part Two, Operating Budget: Same format as above.

Part Three: List any other issues and concerns.

Conclusion: What our goal is.

Separate, but equal: Power point presentation. How long do we have to present? When do we present? Who will present?

I will gladly volunteer to put togather the final package (former Yeoman 1st Class, USN). However, only recently learned how to use Powerpoint; however, the first rule of any presentation, no matter how bad the data or information is, always leave the client with something to smile/laugh about.

Thoughts and Comments?

Mike,

This is a good start. One of the things we will have to talk about is how, when & where we should present our final report. It could be at a budget public hearing before Council, for example. In that case, we could "team up" to present our report. But if we wanted to show any charts, we would have to make special arrangements.

I think we do want to have both a document (detailed report, perhaps with some tables such as you have noted) and an accompanying presentation.

I hate to admit this, but I have done more Powerpoint presentations that I could count.

I think we can make the report preparation and its presentation a team effort. Once we have the data that we think we want to report, then we should make this (final report) a discussion item, probably for one of our upcoming scheduled meetings.
