One method of minimizing some of these inadequacies is through administrative reorganization. Realizing this there have been many different reorganization proposals put forth. Along with these proposals has come much propaganda. In order to obtain a clearer picture comparative criteria were established. Upon doing this it was decided to limit the analysis to the compact, the authority and the inter-agency approaches. Upon applying the criteria to these three structures, the following conclusions were reached: 1) the compact would probably be worse than the existing setup, 2) the inter-agency committee has some value and not too many dangers, 3) the authority fulfills by far the most criteria but because of certain possible dangers should not be strived for, 4) that the criteria are useful in discovering which structures may be unacceptable but they do not tell which is the optimum one. Much is dependent upon the type of planners the structures attract. / by James Myron Bowers. / M.C.P.

The Cal Poly Pier (Pier) Master/Facility Plan (FP) document provides the vision of the future for the Pier, a marine science research facility. The Plan facilitates project development and management of the Pier while meeting university and department research goals. Specifically, the FP document establishes goals and strategies to direct long-term development of the Pier, streamlines agency approval and permit requirements, provides context for pier management, and assists the permitting process for future development as it relates to regulatory permits and programmatic growth on the Cal Poly Pier to help meet goals of the Center for Coastal Marine Sciences (CCMS). The Cal Poly Pier is the marine field station for the California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly) CCMS and is one of several facilities that supports research and educational activities. The CCMS is a CSU Campus Center research organization that provides research and education activities as a part of Cal Poly’s overall mission while offering opportunities to interested parties beyond Cal Poly, such as private and public entities. The 3,057-foot long pier provides students, faculty, researchers, and other users unrivaled access to the marine environment of the Central Coast and fosters hands-on learning opportunities to progress marine research and science. The Master Plan name was changed to Facility Plan to streamline the plan approval process and to minimize the potential for errors.
