In preparation for this meeting, below you may download a list with a range of topics that encompass proposed changes set forth in the Strategic Plan. For example, we may recommend increasing the number of "slots" required for out-of-school programs in order to conserve on programmatic expense. We may also recommend increasing the intensity of activities in youth development programs, while focusing that funding more narrowly for adolescent youth. These recommendations and others will form part of an interactive discussion on how best to implement the strategic plan. We ask that you come to the public meeting ready to comment on the perceived costs and benefits of our recommendations, as well as to offer additional suggestions that may accomplish the desired results.

We are providing an opportunity for all interested persons the opportunity to submit written data, views, and opinions concerning the recommendations. Your comments will help to guide us as we frame the difficult choices that have to be made, as always, in the open, transparent and equitable manner to which we are accustomed to serving our community

Written comments can be submitted on or before October 22, 2010 and should be submitted by email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Comments submitted after October 22, 2010 will not be accepted or posted.
