Another aspect of this situation is that various city and county service
agencies vey? raxely.plan projects 5-10 years ahead, Of course, it would be
ideal it 4 iiley were involved in long-range planning so that they could antici-
sceptopteus rather than respond to them as they occur, But due primarily to
ct
limited funds, the agencies are more or less compelled to respond pragmatically
to community problems,
The value of this report then is that it tends to make up for the lack of
long-range planning for various city services, Through its assessment. of
community needs and its recommendations, it can be of invaluable assistance to
public officials by pointing out what needs to be done to meet exis sting prob«
lems and foreseeing future needs in the Browntown Area.
