The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of Brindleburg to the city council.
"Two years ago, the town of Seaside Vista opened a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. Since then, the Seaside Vista Tourism Board has reported a 20% increase in visitors. In addition, local banks reported a steep rise in the number of new business loan applications they received this year. The amount of tax money collected by Seaside Vista has also increased, allowing the town to announce plans to improve Seaside Vista's roads and bridges. We recommend building a similar golf course and resort hotel in Brindleburg. We predict that this project will generate additional tax revenue that the city can use to fund much-needed public improvements."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
There is memo from the city council of Brindlebury. Since the council made a analyze of the town of Seaside Vista, and then made a conclusion that Brindlebury should build a golf course, the efficiency of this analyze is doubtful.
Firstly, this memo mentioned that the town of Seaside Vista had built a golf course and made some gains, there is no evidence shows that that town is comparable to Brindleburg. Climate, transportation, popularity, geography, and so many else condition could influence the customers’ choice of the golf course. Successful result in the town of Seaside Vista will not succeed in the Brundlebury in a huge probability.
Secondly, there are not enough evidences shows the huge increase in the town of Seaside Vista is because of the new golf course. The memo only mentioned these increase of tourists, loan and tax are appeared after the golf course and resort hotel, but it is no evidence can indicate the increase is the result of building the golf course and resort hotel. There were maybe some new investment of government or other company into the town of Seaside Vista to build some new amusement or museum or some else place which is attractive to tourists, and then someone cough the chance and built the golf course and resort hotel in order to gain more money from the possibly increase of tourists, and the increase of tax and loan are the result of the new investment instead of the new golf course and resort hotel. Building a new golf course is useless to the Brindlebury unless some investment will come to here either.
Thirdly, without the recently economy situation of the local government of the Brindlebuey, no enough money to build a new golf course is possibly. Government have much more important thing to do than build a golf course. The memo mentioned the government will spend the gain of the golf course to fund much-needed public improvements, and government should do this as soon as possible if the budget is enough.
With such logical leaks of the memo from the mayor of Brindleburg, the council should not make a rashly decision to build a golf course. –30min. What the council should do is do more survey and analyze the results to reach a more availably conclusion to make the town better.—33min
