Lyle's Horizons Steering Team Meeting Minutes July 9, 2009
Attendees: Linda Williams, Bob Hansen, Lori Hull, Sherri Starkin, Vern Harpole, Barbara Sexton, Marcia Buser (notetaker). Not present: Mindy Robison, Mildred Lykens, Julie Larson
Purpose: 1st meeting for Horizons Phase III: Community Visioning. During this phase, the Steering Team will involve the community in developing a Strategic Poverty Action Plan. This will involve surveying community members and sharing the results at a Horizons Community Celebration.
Minutes:
1. Discussion & Decisions:a. Visioning Process:
Must involve at least 15% of the community. We will do a door-to- door survey, and include not only town, but Old Hwy 8, Canyon Road, Centerville Hwy, Hwy 142 to a designated mileage from Lyle.
Survey should include about 5 questions that are relevant to our Horizons projects.
We will need volunteers to survey assigned areas & handout flyers for Horizons Community Celebration (item 1.c.). Survey plan to be developed at next meeting July 14th – see at end of minutes. May include doing a prize drawing raffle for those completing the survey.
Include other active Horizons participants to help out with survey. They are also welcome to attend Steering Team meetings as non-voting members.
b. Strategic Poverty Action Plan:
Must be submitted by September 1st. Since we are already doing so many of the items, and more, that came out of our Study Circles and Community Forum, we just need to capture them in a plan that includes:
§ Action plan description (What’s the project & why its important)
§ How will this address poverty?
§ Who is involved & their contact information
§ Action steps, including who is responsible and due dates
§ Indicators of success
The Steering Team will write this plan together via email – see related action items below.
