As a policy advisor to Mayor Philips (the fictional Mayor of Eastport, OR), you are required to offer some policy options on the following problem:
Multiple city departments are becoming increasingly alarmed about the costs required to fix the problems caused by the rabbit damage to city assets. Mayor Phillips is pressured to develop a plan to respond to the problem.
Your assignment is to review the damage caused by the rabbits and provide a clear recommendation– in the form of a memo – to Mayor Phillips on what to do next. The Mayor is seeking a recommendation that will effectively reduce the rabbit population. Your memo must consider the implications of your recommendation and how different groups in the town might receive it. The Mayor has allocated $500,000 to fund the proposals but prefers that you spend less.
You will need to conduct additional research to support your memo.
