Final Course Project

This week’s assignment focuses on the role of local government in policy formulation and implementation. You will also assemble your project into a whole document. The assignment this week will be incorporated as a section of the final assembled paper. This portion of the completed paper should be 3 to 5 pages in length. The total assembled project should be 15-20 pages in length.

To complete this assignment, address the following tasks:

• What role does local government play in formulating or implementing the policy you are studying?
• If local government is involved, is that involvement effective? If the local government is not involved, explain why.
• How is your policy funded? Is the policy funded from the general fund, user fees, special taxes, or a combination of sources?
• Is the funding adequate for the policy?
• Should the means of funding be changed? Why or why not?
• Cite references for the sources of your information.

For the assembled project you will need to address the following:

• Incorporate any feedback you have received from the course facilitator into your work.
• Revise your previous weeks’ work in light of any new information you have gained.
• In assembling your report, arrange the material so that it flows logically. If appropriate, you can change the order of topics and information from previous weeks.
• Conclude your report with three to five recommendations for improving the existing policy.

Submission Details:

• Submit your assembled research project paper in a 15- to 20-page Microsoft Word document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
