29 Memorandum To: From: City Hall Advisory Committee (CHAC) Virginia Olsen, City Clerk/Community Relations Director Date: February 23, 2017 Subject: Community Outreach Ideas OVERVIEW After initial discussion with the Committee, we envision a mix of large community-wide open houses and smaller conversations at coffee shops and local businesses with CHAC members. Earlier this week, the City Council approved a contract with ARC Architects that includes four large public meetings along with meetings with the CHAC and city staff. COMMUNITY-WIDE OPEN HOUSES/PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS Working backwards from a target date of June 5, which is the tentative date for the Committee s recommendation to the City Council, we will plan out four large community meetings with the 4 th meeting being just prior to the June 5 City Council meeting and the other three likely in March, April and May. We will be working with ARC Architects to schedule these dates soon so they can be publicized in the April City Happenings, on a citywide postcard mailer, the city website, social media, and, as suggested by Chair Linda Rogers, on printed business cards that the CHAC members can hand out at the smaller coffee shop meetings. NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS At your February 9 meeting, the Committee received a list of possible meeting locations. Some of the CHAC members have provided their preferred locations and available dates and times. If you have not done so, please do so tonight or in the next few days. I am working with ARC to develop some talking points for you, a map of the site, and a comment sheet so the Committee can begin talking to friends and neighbors about the project while ARC reviews background information and works with the staff on the space needs assessment. OTHER IDEAS In addition to face to face meetings, online surveys are now possible through our new website. As we reach decision points for each of the four community-wide meetings, we could put some graphics online with a survey to gather information from folks who may not be able or willing to attend a meeting in person. We would also like to hear any new ideas from the Committee so we can have a plan in place by the next meeting.
