- Feedback
- Difference between excel and plans, where the excel measures Progress and Sequential Goals and second shows basic action, basic recommendation X
- Consolidated Plan view is helpful to align efforts
- Keeps sequential order of LCAP goals but removes timebound nature.
- Good to keep both source documents as they have independent value
- One concern from Borough Council was the practical reality of achieving timebound goals without undue hardship (financial) on borough residents.
- Need to consider how specific we need to be in order to get grants that could forward the cause.
- Largest part is showing effort to achieve our defined goals.
