Moving Middletown Forward Committee

Suggestions for activities

• Recruit and train candidates for ward election in 2009

• Establish committees for various activities: fundraising, issues, campaign

strategy

Candidate assistance

• Workshop for selected candidates: public relations, speech coaching,

establish issues, raise funds ($3,000-$5,000 needed for competitive

campaigns for each and establish budgets)

Recruiting suggestions

• Search for candidates who have been active in their wards and have some

name recognition

• Set target fundraising for each candidate (1/2 support candidate, 1/2 from

committee through fundraisers)

Campaign suggestions

• Announce committee formation and its objectives, not giving away its

main goal of recruiting and quietly helping groom selected candidates and

making sure they get on the ballot before announcing campaign support

for the four candidates. Keep issues to a minimum and goals for

candidates. When recruiting, make sure candidates are on board

concerning objectives and issues.

Other goals

• Consider ballot issue which would change the makeup of City Council.

For example: Four wards and mayor, eliminating at large seats. Wards

only would make a more manageable and responsive Council.

• Consider future ballot issue which would make Butler County

Commission more responsive by adding two members and dividing

commission in what would essentially be wards.

That was the first time that I ever scanned a document.  I did it using an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) option of my scanner.  There are a couple of very minor diferences in format only.
 
I beg your forgiveness for not getting it 100% correct.  I have been trying for over a day, and this is the closest I have come so I am posting it.
