For the purpose of this Needs Assessment, it will be used as a discovery process to aid in the survey development sent to a more representative sample. In the nominal group technique,participants are brought together for a discussion session led by a moderator. After the question has been presented to session participants and they have had an opportunity to ask questions or briefly discuss the scope of the topic, they are asked to take a few minutes to think about and write down their responses. The session moderator will then ask each participant to present his/her response. These are then posted at the front of the meeting room. Once everyone has given a response, participants will be asked for a second or third response, until all of their answers have been noted and posted around the room. Once duplications are eliminated, each response is assigned a letter or number. Session participants are then asked to choose responses that they feel are the most important and rank them according to their relative importance. These rankings are collected from all participants, and aggregated. For example: Overall measure Response Participant 1 Participant 2 Participant 3 ..... of importance A ranked 1 st ranked 2" ranked 2na. 5 =ranked 1t B franked 3rd ranked 1st ranked 3rd 7 ---- ranked 3rd C ranked 2nd ranked 3rd ranked 1st 6 =ranked 2nd D franked 4th 1 ranked 4th franked 4th 12 =ranked 4th In this case, the groups will be brought back together in one final meeting to rank all the responses. 11 1 I tG-A pe4-4 gfic) iTi\mtk —FA IsAU -F-NFT5 kt if\ \I\lit\i'k' t it ttt ,.1 t,t 11!

The only accesses that I know of are at Lassie Lane to Holleman and at Manuel to Dartmouth. Of course a pedestrian could walk across the ice skating rink property to get to the WPC trails, but I don't think that there is a designated walkway across their property. If I find out something else, I'll let you know. Eric Ploeger City of College Station P.O.

A question was asked about possible pedestrian access to Holleman from the Richards , Sterling and Crest street area. These are behind the Ice rink. Do you know if there will be access to the east to get to the Wolf pen trails and also provide an alterative for walkers and bikers to get out of that neighborhood?
