Write a memo using the statement below. You should include several potential options for dealing with Smith, with an analysis of each option you identify in terms of positives, negatives, opportunities, and constraints. After thoroughly analyzing the options, you need to recommend one to the City Manager.

You are a management analyst working in the City Manager's office of a local municipal government. For example, the local Chamber of Commerce has received a Special Events Permit from the City to hold a carnival on Main Street. The City Council is very supportive of this event, as is the community, and it is always well attended.

You have receive an email from a disgruntled "former business owner and Chamber member" named John Smith, who informs you that they plan to attend the carnival, set up a booth and loudspeaker, and inform the public in attendance of the "wasteful spending that goes on inside the City as well as the Chamber of Commerce." The City Council and City Manager are concerned this will have a disruptive influence on the carnival. There have been rumblings about the Chamber of Commerce being irresponsible with money, so Smith's message might resonate with some people.

The City Manager has asked you to prepare a memo outlining your recommendations for how the City should deal with the situation. There will be many people in attendance and all City Council members.
