7. Process

8. Presentation of Findings • After Action Report • 14 Key Findings • 81 Critical Ideas • 77 Implementation Steps • Bibliography of Reports and Papers • Proceedings of Workshop

9. Key Takeaways by Phase • Planning • Create process, in addition to personal relationships • Establish regular and reliable communications • Hold facilitated offsite meetings • Utilize master planning as a critical tool for partnership • Create and utilize every opportunity for dialogue • Deliberation • Take advantage of Garrison Command training prior to release of the BRAC list • Use of selective information (only what you will use) requests by DoD • Design web tools that can be manipulated and updated constantly

10. Key Takeaways by Phase • Commission • Recognize that the Commission phase is subject to a compressed timeline • Use of targeted, data-driven analyses focused on military value, relayed by a ‘single voice is a must for communities • Target analyses on the impacted installation’s mission and demonstrate synergies between the community, infrastructure and installation • Take every opportunity to communicate with the installation and to understand its mission prior to the Commission phase • Utilize every all to provide input during the Commission phase

11. Key Takeaways by Phase • Implementation – Closure • Take a pragmatic, business oriented approach to ease the transition into the redevelopment process • Recognize that there can be a disconnect between the stakeholders during the cleanup and redevelopment process • Understand that a lack of resources can affect a community as well as the service. • Implementation – Growth • Participation by military leadership in the community organizations created to address growth is critical • Ensure that both military and community organizations utilize joint land use planning • Recognize that input from local jurisdictions should weigh more heavily in BRAC move decisions

12. Focus on Five Key Findings • Importance of Establishing Communications and Building Strong Relationships (After Action Report, Pages 4 & 25) • The Value of Planning Tools (After Action Report, Pages 6 & 27) • Understanding of an Installations Mission Starts Now (After Action Report, Page 17) • BRAC Analyses should reflect and understand the impacted installation’s mission (After Action Report, Page 20) • Communities must use targeted, data-driven analysis (After Action Report, Page 19)

13. Key Finding #1: Importance of Establishing Communications and Building Strong Relationships (After Action Report, Pages 4 & 25) (NOTE: This Finding Applies to both the Planning and BRAC Growth Phases) • Critical Ideas: • State Commanders Councils • PROCESS and ORGANIZATION, rather than PERSONAL relationships • Communication of Needs“Portfolio” and Mission Imperatives • Implementation Steps: • Create State Commanders Councils to facilitate both official and unofficial staff-level engagements • Conduct focused, specific planning exercises to identify opportunities for Partnering

14. Key Finding #2 The Value of Planning Tools (After Action Report, Pages 6 & 27) • Critical Ideas: • Installation master plan as component of community plan • Joint land use planning occurs, but installations still locked up and not required to coordinate. • Implementation Steps: • Engage local and regional planners in master planning efforts on base (and vice versa) • “Retreat” to communicate and create opportunities to interact

15. Key Finding #3 Understanding of an Installations Mission Starts Now(After Action Report, Page 17) • Critical Ideas: • Time is short during the commission phase • Lack of planning will leave you at a disadvantage • BRAC process will limit installation staff availability • Routine interaction will yield insight • Implementation Steps: • Utilize joint installation-community standing committees • Recognize installations need communities to be successful • Identify forums to create and sustain this interaction

16. Key Finding #4 BRAC Analyses should reflect and understand the impacted installation’s mission (After Action Report, Page 20) • Critical Ideas: • Understanding the mission and how the community impacts that mission • Importance of National trends and local impacts • Determine the role and importance of military installations in your community • In the end, it all comes down to military value • Implementation Steps: • Engage and educate stakeholders at multiple levels • Develop a uniform response template • Engage and track issues at national level

17. Key Finding #5 Communities must use targeted, data-driven analysis (After Action Report, Page 19) • Critical Ideas: • Data-driven arguments win the fight • Successful strategies and specific approaches to communicate and influence Commission decision-making must recognize this dynamic • Target DoD recommendation and flaws in analysis • Focus on military value selection criteria • Implementation Steps: • Uniform template for data submission

18. Reaction Panel and • Audience Feedback • Mr. Jimmy Anderson, Director, Navy BRAC PMO, SE • Mr. John Armbrust, Executive Director, Kansas Governor’s Military Council • Dr. Craig College, Senior Vice President, CALIBRE Systems, Inc. • Mr. Jim Holland, Deputy for Installation Policy, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force Installations, Environment and Logistics • Mr. Fred Meurer, City Manager, City of Monterey

19. Reaction Panel Questions • What are your thoughts on the Critical Ideas that emerged? • What additional Critical Ideas would you include? • What are the implementation steps necessary to advance these Critical Ideas??

27. Discussion of Other Findings

28. Reviewof Key Findings: • Importance of Establishing Communications and Building Strong Relationships (After Action Report, Pages 4 & 25) • The Value of Master Planning and Joint Land Use Planning (After Action Report, Pages 6 & 27) • Understanding of an installation’s mission starts well before the Commission phase and is based on routine interaction between the installation and the local community. (After Action Report, Page 17) • BRAC analyses should reflect an understanding of the impacted installation’s mission and demonstrate synergies between an installation and the surrounding community and its infrastructure. (After Action Report, Page 20) • Communities must use targeted, data-driven analyses that are focused on military value, and speak with “one voice” when communicating to the Commission. (After Action Report, Page 19) • Importance of Sharing Accurate Data (After Action Report, Pg. 6) • Effective deliberations rely heavily on effective planning, data management and training. (After Action Report, Pg. 9)
