Case Study: The City Of Bellevue

As stated by the Lafayette Parish census, “Lafayette has had a 14.14% population change from 1990 to 2000 and a 9.73% population change from 2000 to 2010” (Lafayette Parish, Louisiana). The problem with such steep rates of growth is that Lafayette has 825 people per square mile and it is very difficult to stop congestion (Lafayette Parish, Louisiana). This is a drastic difference when compared to the average people per square mile in the United States as a whole, which is 34 (Louisiana). Lafayette started as a meager town in the middle of Louisiana and when a few other parishes split up around it, Lafayette was pronounced its own parish. It is now a center of trade and has many major ways of transportation through the parish. An airport, seven major railways, two highways, and two interstates all run through Lafayette and bring travelers to the parish. Much of Lafayette is filled with households making around the average earning of most Americans, however, it is a hub for high-earning Americans. As stated by the Louisiana Census, “median household income in Lafayette in 2013: $47,784” (Louisiana). When a town has a large population of wealthy people there are inherently more cars, larger houses, and extensive residential property spread among few owners which forces less-earning people to live a more congested lifestyle. This crowds the streets with more cars and leads to more congestion.

Companies produce new technologies that help americas new and upcoming workforce. New tools are made to help the medical field be more precise and effective in their treatments. New systems of communication and travel have become quickly more available. People have even said that in about four years humankind might be able to live on mars. In our age a new phone comes out every few months, allowing better forms of communication. As we look to the future we see that the tech will really be “shocking.”

I am nominating Mayor Tab Townsell, City of Conway, for the Association’s Mayor of the Year. Mayor Townsell was elected in 1999 and immediately began transforming the City of Conway. Under his leadership Conway has grown in population and industry. A new police facility was built in 2009, new first class parks and recreation venues were constructed, high tech companies are locating in Conway and shopping centers are continuously being built. This growth, under his leadership, has propelled Conway to the one of the top cities for recreation and shopping venues. Throughout my time as police chief, Mayor Townsell has encouraged and supported me in my educational and professional growth. He recognizes the importance of police chiefs being involved

MILLERSBURG — Sharing their blessings with others, while hoping to bless even more, Jim and Jean Hostetler are joining with the Friends and Neighbors of OneEighty to welcome the public “Home for the Holidays.”

The current business world is continually integrating technology into daily processes at a rapidly growing rate. The integration is having a major impact on the way that people within corporations accomplish their jobs and as such it is of significant interest as an area of study. The focus that was chosen was to attempt to gain an understanding of the issues and affects that new technology is having on a larger business via an interview with someone in either middle of upper management.

The City of Grand Prairie was incorporated in 1909; however, the community was first recognized under the name Dechman in 1863 after its founder, Alexander McRae Dechman. Ironically, the first post office in town opened in 1877 under the name “Deckman” because a employee at the U.S. Post Office could not read the writing on the form. Later in 1877 the name of the town changed to Grand Prairie.

Idaho Falls is home to one hundred and thirty thousand three hundred and seventy four people. Located on the Eastern edge of Idaho, Idaho Falls is a focal point for much of Idaho and Western Wyoming. While conducting demographic research on the metropolitan area, I found some interesting stats. Using the demographic indicators of age structure, racial diversity, and family makeup, provided me essential data that describes the makeup of its metropolitan area.

In the past decade, this "little city" has seen significant gains in population and development. Adjacent to Bellevue, driving from Kirkland to downtown Seattle

North St. Paul, Minnesota is a small town of 3 square miles that fringes upon the eastern edge of Ramsey County. Once a small manufacturing village, this city converted into a first-ring suburb. North St. Paul truly upholds a small-town feel, but simultaneously appreciates its part of a larger region.

Over the past few years technology has caused significant changes in the way enterprises conduct business.

Planning is a process of establishing a mission with clear goals as a means to achieve them. Good planning requires special skills and perspectives allowing decision-makers to understand the challenges they are facing and apply the most effective solution to a problem. In order to achieve success, one must plan accordingly. Planning can be short term or long term. Short term plans are done on daily basis and are easier to achieve than long term plans. Long term plans are also known as strategic plans and are used to achieve a long range vision or mission of a company. In both methods of planning, short term and long term, is necessary to achieve top notch results. Like in any other process, there are both benefits and pitfalls to a

Moreover, strategic planning is long term planning, usually for the next three to five years at the minimum. Therefore it is a continuous process of making present tactical decisions systematically and with the greatest knowledge of their futurity, at the same time organising the efforts needed to carry out these decisions against the expectations through organised systematic feedback (Bryson, 2004). Strategic management must rely on long run forecasts and predications, thus a sizeable amount of uncertainty is always present. For this reason, it is a critical task for planners to recognize and address uncertainties, and to tailor the planning processes to meet particular problem conditions (Halla, 2002). Strategic activities will support government administration in dealing with their political and operational environments by helping them focus on specific goals and objectives that stem from both political mandates as well as operational management geared towards efficiency and effectiveness (Moore 1995). In other words by conducting strategic planning it will help city officials to mitigate the
