Although it deals with both facilities and programs/services under the same headings, it is noted that facility (infrastructure) planning is typically a longer-term endeavor than program planning, which is annual or even seasonal. The relationship between programs/services and facility needs is an iterative process, which is not conveyed in the distinction the table makes for the purposes of this discussion. Additional discussion on program planning and evaluation is contained in Section 2.0. The table also includes tasks that may already be conducted by the Town to show where they fit in relation to other activities.
The focus of this discussion is areas of information collection and application. The remaining components of the planning process outlined in Figure 3-1 are the topics of other Master Plan discussions (e.g., collaborative work) and/or are ongoing Town functions (e.g., budgeting and implementing actions). Table 5-6 on the following page summarizes the key components of information collection and use in needs-based services planning to: • Verify community service needs • Monitor and evaluate the success of the service response • Incorporate results in subsequent planning activities
