The forum gave participants the opportunity to talk to experts in each of four Crime, enforcement and sanctions; Neighborhood building; Housing~ and ~ Alcohol prevention/education The transcripts of the fliP charts generated in the small group discussions are attached as an appendix to this report, The task force had a series of additional presentations focused on long-term solutions, Lane County Prevention Coalition was invited to discuss its work on commtmity engagement and measuring differences related to alcohol use by youth; a presentation on the zoning and land use patterns in the area was given; a conversation on the pros and cons. of a housing code was conducted;'property management and landlord/tenant issues were discussed~ and options to. improve/maintain alleyways in the area, a topic of particular concern for many residents, were presented. At the April l0a~ meeting, the group reviewed its updated list of potential strategies and went through another prioritization process, this time focused on just the long-t.ei-m solutions. It should be noted, that there was no exact science applied to categorizing a particular strategy as long-term as opposed to short-term. Some strategies haVe elements that could be considered both short and long-term. In general though, short-term strategies were those that were thought to be relatively easy to implement, without si~.rmificant cost or POlicy considerations.. Appendix C'contains the complete list of POtential short and long-term strategies and solutions compiled during the process. Thes~ proposals were brainstormed during comm~tteo meetings as POtential strategies, but many have not yet been evaluated in detail.
