Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Nonsense Never Stops Msg# 917032

Okay that explains the cost. I am used to these racking in about 40K for most firms and schools who do these sorts of services.
Odd request of a university to want to use the results of a paid project for their own gains. Do they want to publish these results? If I were an OPA board member I would be very suspicious of that. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: A valued Community Analysis is first and foremost all about the true stakeholders and what they will or will not bear. Indeed. I really dislike the word stakeholders in the context of this study. Stakeholders is a word typically used to describe those with an interest in the very broadest sense. Even Director Clarke used the word, declaring it was acceptable. He indicated the word for him meant Association Members. However, the question asked in Appendix A was, "Who are the OPA community stakeholders (residents, board, staff, county, etc.)?" The question itself does not even acknowledge association members as stakeholders. Words mean something. The board, as is almost always the case, slow to move and then moves without proper consideration. The phrase, "The devil is in the details," is apparently foreign to board members, at least for the 26 or so years I've been here. With regard to cost, the university is apparently giving OPA a 50% discount from the normal $30,000 fee. This in return for OPA allowing the school to more or less use the results as it sees fit. |
