When planning assessment you need to gauge a clear idea of what level the candidate is at to see if they are ready to complete your planned assessment. There are many ways of achieving this knowledge. One method is observation in performance or another by taking an initial assessment test which have seven levels with the basic entry level 1 being the first.
During the constitutional convention, two plans were proposed to solve the problem of state representation in the government. The first of the two plans was the Virginia Plan, proposed by James Madison and the second being the New Jersey Plan, proposed by William Patterson. Both plans consisted of three branches of government, executive, legislative, and judiciary. however, the New Jersey Plan allowed for multiple executives. Additionally, the Virginia Plan had a bicameral legislature, both houses based on state's’ population or its wealth. The New Jersey Plan, on the other hand, has a unicameral legislature, with its single house giving a single vote to each state

The city of Phoenix uses a strategic plan to make decision at all levels of the organization and it emphasis the city’s efforts on its core businesses. Throughout the budget cycle, a strategic plan shows helpful in communicating, connecting and setting budget priorities. The priorities in the Phoenix Strategic Plan will support in distributing limited revenues or
According to the US Census Bureau, in the year 2000 the City of Brownsville was 83.01 sq. mi., today, the city encompasses 146.3 sq. mi. This growth has been one of Public Works biggest challenges. This development translates into an expanded service area, which puts a strain on Public Works’ other divisions to keep up with the new areas to be serviced while still dealing with inherited situations. In effect it generates longer waiting periods to address our citizen’s needs as well as our departmental goals. As the City continues to experience rapid population growth it demands more services and more from the services provided.
On Monday, April 13th, 2009, I visited the Culver City city council meeting, and found that they operate using a council-manager form of government. For a city with a population of about 38,000, this type of governmental structure is fairly common, and I was not surprised to see it in action in a community where the median household income is around $56,000 a year. Culver City is also a culturally rich community with a 60 percent Caucasian population, and a quarter of the residents are either of African American or Asian decent. The mayor, D. Scott Malsin, is one of five members on the council, and his term as mayor is on a rotating basis. Having been to a Hermosa Beach city council meeting with a similar council-manager structure, I knew
The financial health and welfare of Thurston County is dependent upon establishing and maintaining sound budgetary principles and strategies for implementation. These financial principles will govern the development and administration of budgets for all county offices and departments. The County is to prepare fiscal and capital budgets that are to be balanced to be able to forecasted, which are to be consistent with approved strategic goals and capital improvement goals. Each county office and department will periodically seek to use citizen feedback in the development of the internal strategic plans to develop the high priorities for Thurston County government. For each department, resources are made available that will remain aligned with the strategic planning and priorities developed with the public input. Thurston County will create and maintain a reserve for the general fund that is equal to one month of the budget annual expenditures. The reserve will serve the purpose of the financial stabilization account to safeguard against possible revenue shortages
The Virginia Plan was introduced by Edmund Randolph during the Constitutional Convention on May 29, 1787. It was presented in the form of fifteen resolutions that detailed why the Articles of Confederation should be replaced. Larger states would support this plan because it called for proportional representation by population. The more population a state had, the more representation it would have in Congress. Smaller states, such as New Jersey opposed this idea and introduced their own plan. The New Jersey plan laid out provisions that called for each state to have equal representation and 1 vote each in Congress regardless of population. It was meant to protect smaller states from the larger states. The Virginia and New Jersey plan. Because
Financial position can be calculated using unrestricted net assets, general fund budgetary fund balance, capital asset condition, pension plan funding, debt to assets, current ratio, and quick ratio. I will analyze all of these financial indicators further for the City of Smithville with the exception of pension plan funding due to the lack of information necessary to

Financial statements are vital for organizations to predict future profitability. Financial analysis is the evaluation of data to assist in investment and making financial decisions. Throughout this paper team “B” will cover different aspects from the Valley of the Sun United Way’s financial statements. In their financial statements we will review internal and external factors that may have affected them over the course of the fiscal year. We will also review any major increases or decreases they have experienced and
The loud hum of a plane gliding over the sky, the cracks and fissures in the roads, and the unavoidable force of urbanization takes tool in Ashburn. As more businesses and industries spotted this area as a place to base their companies, the population and overall environment is rapidly changing. There is no surprise that Ashburn is a great place to live, but many things about it can be improved. We as a community face many problems like unemployment and pollution, both of which has grown to be very problematic as more people started to move to this area. I think the most doable and necessary improvements are within our neighborhoods, our environment, and our school system.
I think we are encouraged to only think about issues on a surface level, and only create arguments to “beat” those who disagree with us. What this says about our society is that all we look for in times controversy is the simplest way to rebuttal against someone else without taking into consideration their side/view of the issue. This type of people/society are called absolutists, who will not change any views on many different matters in today’s world like politics. In the Charlottesville Case Study analysis, both the Alt-Left and Alt-Right had no intentions to even take a millisecond to hear what either of the opposing sides were saying. The Alt-Left continued to look for simple ways to shut down any statements that the Alt-Right was
In the 1970’s a program named the “Safe and Clean Neighborhoods Program” was implemented in twenty-eight cities across the state of New Jersey. By taking police officers out of their patrol cars and into the neighborhoods, walking the beat, the program aimed to improve the wellbeing of communities as a whole. The effects of this program gave groundbreaking insight to the role law enforcement plays in providing the conformity necessary for a community to feel a sense of pride and security. The program also gave way to new understandings of how a community’s aesthetics can either discourage or entice criminal behavior. Ultimately, research following the enactment of the program provided a comprehensive look into the degression of a community’s safety as it becomes increasingly less respected by it’s inhabitants.
The planning system in England has been subject to dramatic shifts when the Coalition government was reselected after almost 70 years since 2010. (Gallent, Nick & Hamiduddin, Iqbal & Manuela Madeddu, 2013) This may be proved that the localism can have a significantly impact on urban planning or spatial area field especially after the Localism Bill was promoted and enacted in Parliament on November 2011. However, considerable of key questions had been raised with the implementation of Localism Act: what kind of impact the localist planning have on spatial area and whether it is a proper formation for the contemporary English spatial planning to practice localism. This assignment will try to find out what localism is and demonstrate the impact of localism in England. The aim of this assignment is not only to address these questions but also in purpose of assessing the advantages and disadvantages of localism to demonstrate the achievements that spatial planning can earn from the localism.
