SUBJECT:
Four Oaks case study assignment
This memo is to answer several of the questions you have been asking me regarding the Four Oaks assignment as you prepare for the workshop on Monday.
Content
Your job is to make a recommendation to City Council. You will be recommending a course of action to solve both the noise and the public relations problem based on data you have gathered in the acoustical study as well as other information you may invent.
“Draft an informal recommendation report in letter format to the City
Council for Crompton’s review and signature. . . Identify the multiple
audiences for the report and their primary concerns. With those concerns
and the audience relationships in mind, develop suggestions for a program
that you believe Crompton would approve for submitting to the Council.”
Heading/Address/Salutation:
The case study itself includes most of this information including the Four Oaks letterhead and return address and the city council address. Note also that the salutation is to “City Council Members:” The closing will be Dale Crompton’s signature followed by DC/your initials.
The report should be about 3 - 4 pages long in full block letter format–i.e., Four Oaks letterhead centered, everything else left justified. In the body of the letter, you may indent or center text as necessary, but everything else should be left-justified.
Workshopping:
The usual guide applies; bring in two complete, polished copies of your work.
Turn in:
On Wednesday you should bring me a 10 x 13 envelope with the following
in the upper left corner:
This envelope should include the following:
This assignment will be due at the beginning of class on Wednesday.
