The group predicted that the <br /> population in 30 years would be anywhere in a range from 7,500 to 10,500. Discussion went <br /> into the consolidation issue. There were two camps on this issue - consolidation and <br /> separate entity. Demographic projections were based on housing stock, educational <br /> opportunities, and increased cultural and ethnic diversity. It was concluded that the City <br /> could only directly deal with housing stock within the City to avoid property decay and <br /> devaluation. <br /> The remaining three activities for Saturday were: (1) to identify 1 to 5 year goals, (2) <br /> prioritize the identified goals, and (3) project accomplishment timelines for the prioritized <br /> and other identified goals. <br /> • <br />
