Neighbourhood planning - Urban Vision Dave ChetwynHACThousing
Neighbourhood plans allow local communities to shape development in their area. They become part of the statutory development plan once approved at referendum. The process involves gathering evidence of community preferences, drafting plan policies and site allocations, consulting the community, undergoing examination, and approval by referendum. Key issues addressed often include housing, design standards, and identifying sites for development. The plan must meet basic conditions of national policy and sustainable development to be adopted.
Measuring ROI of Rural Broadband Investments: Stories of Success in Five Rura...Ann Treacy
This document summarizes research on measuring the return on investment (ROI) of rural broadband investments in 5 counties in Minnesota. It discusses the methodology used, which included collecting existing data and holding community meetings. It provides examples of broadband's benefits according to local stakeholders. The numbers show populations and incomes rising in counties with broadband. ROI formulas calculate the annual economic benefits and increases in real estate values exceeding the public investments in each county. Broadband access was found to boost local economies and conclusions state that community adoption efforts can further increase ROI.
The document discusses the impact of legal aid cuts under LASPO on family migration cases in the UK. It notes that LASPO significantly reduced legal aid funding for advice and representation in family migration matters. This will negatively impact over 53,000 cases and result in a 92% reduction in funding for initial applications and 20% less for appeals. Without legal representation, migrants will struggle to present their own cases given the complex nature of immigration law and the vulnerability of those involved in family migration cases, particularly children.

It discusses the neighbourhood planning process, what communities can achieve through neighbourhood planning like choosing housing locations and managing community projects, and how Locality can provide support through grants and technical assistance to help groups through the neighbourhood planning process.
Stormwater utilities are growing in the US as a way to fund stormwater management programs. They allow municipalities to charge stormwater fees rather than relying on tax revenues. Over 1,800 stormwater utilities exist in 40 states. Fees are typically based on a property's impervious surface area and provide a steady dedicated funding source for aging infrastructure and regulatory compliance. Regional stormwater authorities can achieve greater economies of scale and cost savings compared to individual municipal programs. The Wyoming Valley Stormwater Authority in Pennsylvania serves 32 municipalities and reduces costs for ratepayers by 60% compared to tax-based funding.
This document summarizes development impact fees in several cities and counties around the Atlanta region. It lists the total residential and commercial impact fees for cities like Roswell ($3,200 and $3,000), Cherokee County ($1,142 and $2,000), and Forsyth County ($3,641 and $532). It also lists communities that do not have impact fee programs. The document outlines several things for local governments to consider when implementing impact fees, including having a comprehensive plan, funding maintenance costs, and properly aligning fees with new growth. It states that impact fees can effectively fund infrastructure if used alongside robust planning, but should not be relied on solely or used to slow growth.
The Total Place initiative aims to give local authorities more freedom and flexibility in delivering public services. It seeks to improve outcomes and save money through greater collaboration across agencies. Thirteen pilot programs tested approaches like integrating services, targeting high-needs groups, and redesigning processes with community input. Going forward, the initiative will further incentivize local approaches to efficiency and publish agreements to expand pooled budgeting and standardized offers for high-performing areas. Realizing the goals fully faces challenges around coordination between levels of government and alignment of different organizational cultures and systems.

This document summarizes the key aspects of the UK government's localism agenda outlined in the Localism Act. It discusses the decentralization of powers from national to local governments to give communities more control. This includes new rights for local councils and communities over areas like planning, housing, education, and public services. The goal is to disperse power more widely and improve people's lives by empowering local decision making rather than imposing top-down control from national government. However, others argue it does not truly decentralize and could centralize power through new regulatory oversight. The effects on local accountability and roles of elected officials, private and nonprofit organizations are also debated.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

How to Invest in Cryptocurrency for Beginners: A Complete GuideDaniel
Cryptocurrency is digital money that operates independently of a central authority, utilizing cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments (fiat currencies), cryptocurrencies are decentralized and typically operate on a technology called blockchain. Each cryptocurrency transaction is recorded on a public ledger, ensuring transparency and security.
Cryptocurrencies can be used for various purposes, including online purchases, investment opportunities, and as a means of transferring value globally without the need for intermediaries like banks.
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

2. 2013 Budget
• One of the duties of the minority
commissioner is to offer a different viewpoint
from the majority commissioners and to hold
them accountable.
• Set up meetings with all of the Department
Heads and Elected Officials. I went line-by-line
through their budgets.
• Town Hall Meetings
3. Board Agreement in over
30 Areas of the Budget
• Centre Crest • Jury Commissioners
• Children and Youth Services • Maintenance
• Commissioners • Planning and Community Development
• Conservation District • Probation & Parole
• Controller • Prothonotary and Clerk of Courts
• Cooperative Extension • Public Defender
• Coroner • Recorder of Deeds
• Court Administration • Records Management
• Criminal Justice Planning • Register of Wills and Clerk of Orphans'
• District Attorney Court
• District Judges • Risk Management
• Domestic Relations • Sheriff
• Elections and Voter Registration • Tax Assessment
• Emergency Communications/9-1-1 • Tax Collection/Tax Claim
• Emergency Services • Transportation
• GIS • Treasurer
• Housing Authority • Veterans' Affairs
• Human Resources • Weights and Measures
Board has 98.5% of Agreement.
4. Areas of Debate
• Use of Act 13 Funds
• Amount of Contingency Fund
• Prison payroll changes
• Contract with Community Help Centre
• Staffing at the Office of Aging
• Cuts in services at Mental
Health/Intellectual Disabilities
5. Robust Debate on Act 13
• Impact fee was for natural gas related impacts
• Governor Corbett side-stepped around “no
tax” pledge
• I supported the passage of the ordinance even
though the fee was not enough
• Have there been impacts related to the
drilling?
• Use the Act 13 to balance the budget or else
taxes go up
6. Robust Debate on Act 13
• Amount of impact fee will decline. After Year 3
(Spring 2014 payment) the maximum amount
that can be assessed for a well is $20,000. For
the $660,000 payment the County received, the
assessed amount for a well was at $50,000.
• Snow Shoe Borough - $7,000
• Using Act 13 funds for programs that we’ve
historically used General Fund money concerns
me as they might be being moved onto the
endangered species list.
9. Human Services Cuts
• Cuts to three areas of human services budgets:
– Adult Services – contract with Community Help
Centre
– Office of Aging – laying off 3 staff positions
• 3 “Care Managers II” (case workers)
– Mental Health/Intellectual Disabilities
• $350,000 reduction in Purchase Client Services
10. Cuts to Human Services
• Adequately funding human services is
important because “it helps people address
their problems now instead of in the future,
when the problems could worsen and become
more expensive to address.”
• What could happen if human services are
reduced?
11. Taxes
• I’ll never be afraid to advocate and fund
something that I believe is important
– 9-1-1 radio system upgrade
• There will be a time in the future when a
Centre County Board of Commissioners raises
taxes. Hopefully, it’s been after they have
exhausted every other measure.
12. Hope for a compromise?
• The Board of Commissioners has 24 days until
final passage of the budget…
• Different perspectives, different approaches
