Public Financial Analysis the City Of Oakland, CA
$45.00Students will be provided with four financial plans for local governments via Blackboard. These plans outline the challenges that each government is facing over the next few years. The cities selected for the project are:
- San Francisco, CA
- Oakland, CA
- San Bernardino, CA
- San Diego, CA
Each student will be expected to select one of these cities for their project. Each city is experiencing unique challenges that will provide for a variety of problems and solutions to be analyzed and recommended in your essay, depending on which city you choose.
The essay is to consist of the following three sections:- An overview of the chosen city (demographics, recent fiscal history, governance, etc.). Take care not to devote too much of your essay to this section. It is the least important to the goal of the project.
- An overview of the chosen city’s financial plan and the student’s assessment of the city’s financial condition.
- Identification of three fiscal challenges being faced by the selected City and discussion of hypothetical ways to address these issues.
Using the example of the City of Fresno presented in class during Session 2, three issues that might merit selection would include restoring staffing following a 25% reduction in employees, decreasing the reliance on volunteers to operate and maintain facilities, and beginning to replace older equipment. The student would then make proposals to address these issues, as the City of Fresno did in their recent plan, such as negotiating salary reductions, revising work rules, and franchising government services.
All of these changes would free up existing revenues or generate new revenues that would in turn facilitate addressing the three issues. There may be a one-to-one relationship between a problem and a solution, or solutions may not be directly related to problems but would still generate revenues that could be used to address the problems. While there is no right answer in terms of how the identified challenges might be addressed, students should take care to analyze their chosen city carefully. The problems in each city are different as are the appropriate solutions, and the degree to which these nuances are understood and communicated in the essay will be a component of the instructor’s evaluation of each essay.
Essays are expected to be at least 10 pages in length when typed double spaced in 12 point font.
Essays will be scored based on comprehensiveness, effectiveness of the analysis, reasonableness of the
recommendations, and writing mechanics.11 Pages

WR 39C: ARGUMENT & RESEARCH – Women’s Empowerment and Economic Development
$37.50The Historical Conversations Project
Two major projects comprise the 39C curriculum: The Historical Conversations Project (HCP) and The Advocacy Project (AP). This first one, the HCP, asks you to do four things: (1) present and analyze a significant political/social/cultural problem; (2) frame this problem with motives or warrants, which are current examples, incidents, or arguments that convince your audience that the problem you’re addressing and the questions you’re asking are alive and relevant right now; (3) summarize and critically evaluate various conversations and debates made by credible scholars and organizations about your topic; and (4) decipher the historical contexts of the problem at hand by locating at least 2 pieces of evidence, at least one from the past and one from the present, that tie the problem as we see it today to its past.
Over the next four weeks you will work on this project, which will be submitted for a grade at the end of week four. One of the main purposes of this first assignment is to expose you and your peers to various topics, arguments, histories, and background knowledge that will enable you engage with each other rigorously and productively over the course of the quarter. Another purpose is to begin the process of teaching you how to locate, evaluate, select, arrange, and integrate sources into a multi-modal composition. As a genre of communication—and in the case of this assignment, one that frames a problem, delivers arguments, uses evidence, and speaks to a broad audience—a multi-modal composition can be a synthesis of various rhetorical positions—visual and written for example—that work together to deepen argumentative positions and claims. Your composition’s multi-modality will come from your use of these two modes together.
You may be asking yourself (and you should ask your teacher), “What is a composition and what does it mean if it’s multi-modal?” Musicians, artists, and architects sometimes think of their creations as compositions so they can understand and shape various elements within them and clarify how such elements relate to each other as a coherent whole. In your case, you will locate at least two pieces of evidence, one from the present that helps you define the problem you are exploring and one from the past that deciphers this problem’s historical context. And then you will use credible sources to describe for your readers how these distinct pieces of evidence work together to explain the viability of the contemporary problem.
You will need to ask a number of questions in order to understand how your key pieces of evidence speak to each to each other: How does the “artifact” from the past illustrate the evolution of the problem? What arguments do scholars make about the problem’s past and its present? What are scholars and credible people and organizations debating about the problem and its past? As you explain how and why certain historical changes tie you central pieces of evidence together, you will have to think creatively to arrange your arguments and your evidence, both your key pieces of evidence and scholarly sources, to persuade your audience that the historical foundation you have located is meaningful to our understanding of the problem in the present. Such creative, organizational thinking in music, for example, results in beautiful transitions between parts of a song and makes for a unique song; imagine one of your favorites and think about how its parts are arranged and how the arrangement of the parts makes the song complete.
Additional Guidance
What is a “Key Piece of Evidence” for the HCP?
-Key Evidence (Present): It can be a table of data, an image or a series of images or an incident. It is something that clearly articulates the cultural, political, and social problem that is the focus of your project.
-How do you locate your evidence?
Any social, cultural, or political problem that demands the attention of scholars, intellectuals, thinktanks and advocacy organizations will be defined by and grounded in evidence, and these pieces of evidence are what you are trying to find. What sorts of evidence do your scholarly and credible resources use to substantiate their arguments?
-Key Evidence (Past): Like your evidence from the present, your historical artifact(s) can be a compilation of statistics in a table or a graph, an image, an incident, ideas and arguments from primary sources, stories, and various art forms. You can use credible sources to locate your historical “artifacts,” and in selecting them think and write about how the historical evidence speaks to your central problem in the present. Try to describe how your historical pieces reside in the past, summarize how they speak to your contemporary evidence, and explain how the historical dialogue between these two pieces or bodies of evidence connects the present with the past. The historical space between them, which documents historical changes, will enable you to articulate clearly the importance of your central problem in the present.
Reflective Prompts
-What specific aspects of your historical evidence make it historical? Is it far enough back in time to be considered historical? Does it represent significant and meaningful historical changes?
-What are my credible sources saying about my historical evidence?
-How is my historical evidence different from my contemporary evidence? Why are they different? Are they too different to speak to each other to capture historical changes?
-What arguments am I using from my scholarly sources and contemporary research to explain the historical relationship between my two bodies/pieces of evidence?
-What significant historical changes explain the relationship between my sources? What credible sources am I using to support such explanations and summaries of historical change?
