The program requires partnerships <br />with neighborhood groups working with the City to create community change. The City has <br />elected to participate in the FIT Cities Initiative since the program goals also support ongoing <br />active transportation planning efforts. <br />The City will identify three to five community residents to participate in leadership training offered <br />through OCHCA. These residents will then work with City staff to identify a specific focus project. <br />The City will contract with a design consultant to assist the resident leaders and staff by <br />designing a preliminary project and providing cost estimates. Funds allocated toward this project <br />through the FIT Cities Initiative will cover staff and consultant costs. The result will be a design - <br />ready project for the City to pursue grant funds to implement. <br />20A -1 <br />
