' , • Work Prograra• �
This narrative outlines, in general terms, the major planning activity to be
undertaken in the planning year. A more precise definition of objectives,
� L
strategies, and tasks will be the primary objective of the Model City rtaff
and task forces once the organizational activities outlined in Milestone Nose
1 and 2 have been completed.
The work activitfes carried out in the planning year will not include detailed
studies or project planning, ra[hsr it will provide the Model Cities group with
the necessary information to develop program strategy and to undertake the
det�iled project planning reQUired during the fmplementation period.
In order to avoid unnecessary duplication, maximum use will be made of present
studies and inforcnation developed by public and private sources concerning the
Model Nefghborhood.
What follows then is the major planning work program objectives, as presently
de�terminable, fn the form of Planning Milestc�nes. As mentioned above, the
canpletion of the first and second milestones will bring about a more comp2ete
definitian of the work process of the planning year.
Milestone_. No, 1 - Resident P�rticipation
Resident organi.zation and participation are an integral part of the work prograr�
for the planning period. At the suggestion of the interim citizans committee
the first step in the Model City process for Saint Paul will be the election of
citizen groups. The Model Neighborhood has been divided into six districts,
Posters have been placecl throughout the community and information centers have
been set up in existin� agencies in an attempt to prepare the community for the
- 2 -
, �
elections. Five persons will be elected from each of the districts, four adults
(from both an income and pverty classification) and one youth between the ages
of 16 and 21. Procedures for b�coming a candidate have been deteronine d by the
interim committee. The process for election has been drawn from the state
guidelines for an election without preregistration. The City Election Bureau
will be available to supervise the election, June 28, 1969.
The elected citizen group of thirty residents will be guided by the resolution
drafted by the interim coaunittee and passed, after amendment, by the CDA. The
resolution provides for a representative structure assuring area residents a
clar and direct access to the decision-making process. Citizens will have the
opportunity to review the planning of the city agencies serving the Model Neigh-
borhood and an effective veto on plans. They will have the responsibiliLy of
selecting the CDA staff in cooperation with the Mayor and City Council. It is
also their prerogative to hire or retain staff and planning personnel who could
serve their best interests in achieving comprehensive and effective planning
goal�.
It is proposed that the elected citizen body be compensated for their time and
work. It is also anticipated that Model Neighborhood resid�nts will be hired
as part-time aides to more effectively organize a resident participation
structure and to assist in the continuing resident p�rticipation activities
during the planning period. The revised planning budget whir_h accompanies
this work program also proposes that office space, supplies and services, and
other expenses •�ill be provided for resident bodies; an� that technical assistazc e
in a manner acceptable to residents will be made available to resident councils
to assist them in making reconunendations and decisions.
- 3 -
i i
� This milestone„enconpasses the whole of the planning period. However, special
emphasis will be devoted to the initial three �onths in �hich time the citizen
body will be elected, co�e to know itself and its duties, provide for the
selectfon of CDA staff, and call into being the planning task forces.
Milestone Na. 2 - Or�anization and Administration
Following th� election of the citizen body� the first task of the planning
year Will be the selection of key CDA staff and the organization of agencies
for p articipatio�z in the Model Cities planning process. During the �ntire �
plannfng period, CDA staff will be responsible for: workiag with area residents
and the elected resident citizen bady and its functional task forces; developing
a detAiled planning work program reflective of goals and priorities agre�d upon.
by $rea representativ�s and participating agencies; reviewing work progress;
scheduling and coordinatfng activities; and evaluation and the develop��nt of
cost-benefit analysis techniques.
It is the intention of the CDA and the resid�nts ta have filled by August 1, 1969,
the key CDA staff positions. The other objectives spelled out in this milestone
will be applied for the whole of the planning year.
Milesto�e N�. 3 - Data Assembly
Basic information is needed to d�ter�ine the specific problems existfng tn the
Model Netghborhood and recor:unended courses of actiun which may be tRken to re�o�ve
them. Existing data w�hich has recnntly been compiled by various gublic and
private ag�ncies or governmental and educational entities will be collected�
interpreted, classified, and, if necessary, updated. Neighborhood residents
will �e snrveyed and additional data collected as necessary. The Model City agency
- 4 - �

groups in order `to eliminate duplication and sustain coordination. Data assembly
will begin September 1, 1969. Direct costs will be borne by participating agencies.

nature and extent of social, economic and physical problems and` identification
of their canses.

will .be made of changes which must be made in order to correct and overcome the
problems. Tt�is determination will be based in large measure npon an intensive
evaluation of existing program effort. The changes will be broken down into
immediate and lang-range goals and strategy developed to achieve those goals.
Following is a listing of the major work tasks to be performed under this r�iYestane,.

might be started or expanded during the planning period. CD9 structure, including
the citizen body, will participate in these immediate programs, initiaCing sorne

Coordination of Related Plannin� Activities and Cooperation of Responsible Agencies
As indicated in Saint Paul's application for planning funds, necessary agencies,
both public and private, whose areas of concern relate to the Model Cities planning
process have already indicated their willingness to cooperate in the planning
program. Cooperation of agencies engaged in related local planning is crucial to
the development oi an effective rfod�l Cities Program, since implementation of
, many elemer.ts in such a program will depend on the continued cooperation and
participation of relevant agencies through pragram Pxecution. Such coopera�tion
and coordination will be achieved through representation on the relevant tas'�
forces of both leadership and technical staff from these necessary agencies. Where
necessary, agreements defining respective rights and responsibilities and running
between these diverse agencies and the CDA will be negotiated. Re�ated planning
activities will be specifically considered during rSilestone No. 4, Problem
Analysis, Goa2� and Program Strategy, as part of thz evaluation of existing progr�m
effort nec�ssary to �efine problems and establish goals and strategies.

As has been indicated, the agencies described have pledged their cooperation
to the Model Cities planning process. Many of them have expressed an eagerness
to begin planning in their respective areas of concern. As noted in the narrative
for Milestone No. 1 above, however, such proposals have been discouraged pending
the formulation of a resident participatioti structure. Therefore, while
general lines of commitmQnt ean be stated at the present time in this submis�sion,
precige assfgnments of responsibility and explicit agreements between the CDA
and the respectfve agencies shauld await the establishment o£ the citizen structur�,
in order that residents may have the opportunity to help determine the cour�e of
planning and th� scnpe of participation of the involved agencies. Further.
such determinations will be dependent, to some degree, on the formulation of
priorities for planning and execution which, as has been not�d earlier in this
narrative, wfll be heavily influeneed by the opiniuns of resideats.
