Request for Approval of Consultant Services and Outline of Proposal: The Committee has concluded that while it has made some progress in gathering data and in identifying issues and alternatives, it is in need of assistance in completing its assignment. The scope and eomplexity of the Committee's assignment are such that a consultant is needed who can assist the Committee in: 1. identifying pertinent information which still needs to be collected together with sources and means of gathering it; 2. facilitating Committee meetings to assure information can be processed effectively and sound decisions can be made on recommendations; and 3. preparing reports which will be effective in communicating recommendations. The Committee identified and contacted a number of potential providers of such services. It invited Charles Page of United Way of Central Carolinas and Bill McCoy of the Urban Institute at UNC-Charlotte to discuss services their organizations could potentially provide. From this discussion, it became apparent that the two organizations were willing to work together in assisting the Committee and that the two organizations could complement each other well in providing needed services. The two organizations were asked to collaborate in formulating a proposal for the provision of appropriate services. A copy of the proposal which they submitted is included as Attachment III.
