Jerry Washburn, chairman of the ad hoc committee on neighborhood committees, said his panel is still gathering information on other programs and may be taking trips to other states to observe programs.' "I assume our program will be a combination of a number of es. We will combine them into something very specific for Orem," Washburn said Tuesday, the original deadline for the committee's report.

Mayor Joseph A. Nelson and Councilman Bill Peperone proposed the program as a way to increase public input into the city processes. When the committee was created, Nelson said he wanted a report by the end of March.

So far, the committee has looked at programs in Provo and Sandy and has hosted representatives from those programs who came to share their thoughts. The committee has also received information on in programs Washington, Oregon and Arizona. The Mesa, Ariz., program, Washburn said, is a model because it brings in the school and business communities into the process. Peperone said be would have preferred to have the committee's recommendation in his hands by now. "If they are looking at better options, then it's time well spent," Peperone said. Washburn said the investigation may require traveling out of state to examine those community programs. At this time, he said there is no money budgeted for excursions and committee members may have to pay for the trip themselves. "We haven't inquired if there is any budget available," Washburn said. Peperone said the council may be able to dip into its own budget to pay for the trip. He said if the committee can come back with good ideas, it would be worth sending the committee members to Mesa or some other city.
