If the number goes over <br />30, a random drawing of 30 participants will occur. The group of 30 will be broken into <br />smaller groups of 5 each. Small groups will discuss the questions and then report back to <br />the larger group. You will facilitate a discussion with the large group based on the <br />answers reported back and lead them through a prioritization exercise. This allows up to <br />60 citizens to participate in the Focus Group process. <br />3. Department Directors — Kathleen will send a meeting invite <br />4.
