Week 12

What is one proposal one of your task force group members is working on? Describe it in a few sentences, and then point out one strength so far of what you seen and one thing that can be improved upon. You might include a hyperlink to your peer's specific proposal or pre-proposal.

Erin is working on a proposal to get a new baseball field for the city in which she lives.

The strengths I see include the presentation of the growth of the city as evidence for the need of the field and the support from the city for this new field evidenced by the in-kind contribution of labor.

The logic used to argue for the need for the field is that the current groups will need the field as they age and continue to play. What you might consider including is that as the population increases so will the need for more playing territory. If the current population has four teams and the city grows by the same percentage, then x number of teams will be needed. So it is not only that those who are currently playing will want to continue playing, but that there will be more youths who will want to play.

It also might be interesting to research why some of the older groups only have one team. Does that have to do with the space?
