As we've discussed in class, every municipality is distinctly different. For this long-format written assignment, I am giving you the opportunity to complete an organizational overview and assessment. Please choose a City in Ventura, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Orange, or San Diego County. Using material that you have digested from the text and other readings provide me with a thoughtful and in-depth overview of the organization. Make sure you are weaving in course concepts and ideas throughout. You will need to submit a brief "Organizational Overview & Assessment Proposal" to me via Blackboard by Wednesday, September 14.

Describe the community including size, demographics, geographical location, business community, unique aspects etc.;

Describe the origination's structure including functional departments, leadership team, and any relevant contractual service relationships;

Briefly discuss the organization's finances, annual goals, objectives and outcomes;

Using media sources and City resources, describe at least three relevant issues that the City has faced in the past year;

Discuss how City leaders worked to resolve (or not resolve) each issue;

Conclude with your assessment on how effectively the City dealt with each issue.
