One Hundred Ways to Improve the Mansfield Community Center (MCC) [21 - 30]

 Broadcast screens in business settings are more technically called 'Information Radiators'. When they are used most effectively they inform everyone of the most recent status of progress, problems, or other important topics.

21. The information radiator[s] at the Mansfield Community Center (MCC) must make the fiscal condition of the MCC transparent to everyone on a near real-time basis in addition to its current content stream

22. The list of priorities for MCC related spending must be made transparent and public so that the membership can provide a feedback loop as to prioritization and necessity of expenditure

23a, Advertisement from local food, services, and other commercial venues should be offered on MCC information radiators. This creates a virtuous circle of local engagement. The ads can be paid in MCC member discounts at the retailer (they get MCC business, MCC members get value-add to membership - think EO Smith students getting lunch discounts across the street, UConn students likewise, and so on)

-OR-

23b. Ads are paid for, subsidizing the MCC budget

24. Mansfield Parks & Rec. needs to pilot a fleet of driverless Robo-Taxis that can pick up and deliver home MCC members (for a fee)

25. Commence a 'MCC After Hours'  program that keeps only the front lounge and vendor area open for book clubs, political debates, and so on.

26. Extend senior citizen click activity to legitimately qualifying, complementary, off-site programs in Region 19 towns.

27. Eliminate all rate discounts that haven't worked.

28. Uniquely define membership categories

29. Eliminate location specific assignments for fitness center assistants

30. All building maintenance and routine upkeep needs to be done by Public Works employees.
