Project IEP City of Eugeneaker- Johnston <br /> MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> The management for Project IEP is based on management by objectives and results (McConkey, 1979). The key <br /> elements of this plan are: (a) clearly stated project objectives; (b) a specified sequence of activities for achieving the <br /> objectives; (c) timelines for accomplishing the designated activities; (d) a description of the personnel who are responsible <br /> for accomplishing various tasks; (e) formative and summative evaluation procedures for project operations, allowing for <br /> both short -term decision making and long -team planning; and (f) administrative involvement that facilitates cooperation <br /> and input from all project personnel. The management plan for Project IEP is divided into three areas: (a) Fiscal Agency <br /> and Project Administration, (b) Project Evaluation, and (c) Program Evaluation. These four areas are vital to the success <br /> of the project and are monitored as part of the evaluation process. <br /> 1. Fiscal and Project Administration. The City of Eugene is the fiscal agent on this project. (See Appendix B for the <br /> City of Eugene's Letter of Commitment and Organizational Chart.) The City of Eugene was the original entity that <br /> formed the West Eugene Wetlands Partnership. The City of Eugene assumes all fiscal responsibilities. The City of Eugene <br /> Wetlands Manager, Mr. Scott Duckett, represents the interests of the City of Eugene on Project IEP. Ongoing <br /> administration and grant management of this proposed project is the responsibility of the Principal and Co-Principal <br /> Investigators, Dr. Claudia Hatmaker and Ms. Patricia Johnston, who are accountable to: (a) City of Eugene administrators <br /> and fiscal officers, and (b) sanctions proposed by involved state and federal agencies. <br /> 2. Project Evaluation Framework. The evaluation plan is an integral part of the project's overall design and <br /> management plan. Evaluation efforts focus on project resources, design, objectives, activities, timelines and outcomes. <br /> (Please seethe Evaluation section for further details.) <br /> 3. Process and Outcome Evaluation. In addition to the project evaluation described above, we also conduct program <br /> evaluation. However, since this is a planning and document/materials preparation project, rather than delivery of <br /> instruction or provision of services to clients, this `program evaluation" will consist of an examination of processes and <br /> occurring during the 12 -month planning and preparation period. Elements examined are: (a) architectural <br /> renderings, models, the business plan, and associated processes and products; (b) interpretive planning and materials <br /> development; and (c) educational themes and training materials. (Please see the Evaluation section for further details.) <br /> The Project IEP timeline for implementing project activities follows in Table 3. The timeline is divided into eight <br /> categories: (a) Fiscal Administration, (b) Grant Management and Evaluation Design, (c) Architectural Component, <br /> (d) Interpretive Planning, (e) Interpretive Materials Development, (f) Educational Themes Development, (g) Conducting <br /> Evaluation and Dissemination, and (h) Continued Grant Management. Following the timeline are biographical sketches <br /> outlining qualifications of key personnel and providing brief descriptions of the duties each will perform. <br /> 8 <br />
