differences of opinion are either resolved before the report is written or flagged for further consideration when the transcripts have been prepared. Task 5: Prepare Transcripts Each of the focus group sessions will be recorded in both audio and video format. After the groups have been completed, the entirety of each discussion will be transcribed verbatim from the audio. Task 6: Review Transcripts In order to ensure that perceptual bias does not intrude into the focus group report, our President will review the transcripts in detail prior to preparing the report text. As she does so, she will highlight participant quotes that will be used to illustrate and hopefully enliven the document. Task 7: Prepare Focus Group Report The report on the focus groups will be prepared by our President with the assistance of support staff (for the insertion of quotes and formatting of the final document). Included will be an introduction with a full discussion of research methods, a narrative findings section illustrated with verbatim quotes, and our conclusions and recommendations. The report will be delivered to the City in final draft form for review and comment. We will then consult with the City concerning any changes they would like to see, make the appropriate modifications, and submit the final version to the City for approval. Task 8: Conduct Second Planning Meeting Following the acceptance of the focus group report, our President will meet with the City a second time to consider the findings. The primary purpose of this meeting will be to plan the content of the survey in detail. Particular attention will be paid to the utility of the information developed in 2012 with a view toward deleting unnecessary questions and to the nature of the infrastructure inquiries that will be added. Once again, our President will be in attendance. 8IPage
