BOWERS FIELD—AIRPORT MASTER PLAN <br />The public informational meetings will be organized as public workshops to inform the public In general <br />and to provide a forum for neighbors and stakeholder groups to discuss the project and provide input. <br />The meetings will be scheduled to coincide with PAC meetings (same day or consecutive day). <br />Participants would be invited to complete a survey early in the project to provide feedback on the <br />effectiveness of the initial public participation program and to provide suggestions for future public <br />participation events. The survey will be developed jointly by Kittitas County staff and the Consultant and <br />may be either web -based (i.e., SurveyMonkey, etc.) or distributed through direct mailing. The survey is <br />not intended to provide a scientifically based analysis tool, but will provide a general indication of key <br />areas of interest within the community and at the airport. <br />Public notification of upcoming meetings will be provided through the project mailing list and website. <br />Public notice of upcoming meetings shall be made at least one week prior to the meeting date (or as <br />prescribed by Kittitas County public meeting notice requirements), and are subject to newspaper <br />printing deadlines. Newspaper advertisements are the responsibility of Kittitas County. <br />13.1.4 - Prosect Kickoff Wgrkshop <br />The first meeting will serve as the project kickoff meeting designed to provide Information about the <br />project and planning process and to obtain public input to identify key issues or concerns. The specific <br />format and organizational elements for the meeting will be determined by Kittitas County staff and the <br />Consultant. However, for the first public meeting, we propose to hold a workshop that provides an <br />informal setting to provide information to the public, collect input and answer questions. The meeting <br />would be staffed by several members of the Consulting team and Kittitas County staff, with other <br />stakeholders Invited to attend/participate. Several information areas would be used to address likely <br />key issues related to the project (examples include airport noise, current activity highlights, land use, <br />community growth, etc.). Each informational station would be organized to encourage questions and <br />to provide an opportunity for the public to provide written comments. <br />A project mailing list will be created and maintained throughout the project for use in actively <br />encouraging public participation. Invitations to public meetings, project newsletters and PAC meeting <br />summaries will be mailed or sent via email from the mailing list, in addition to public advertisement. <br />Project newsletters will be prepared and distributed periodically during the project to summarize <br />meeting highlights, including a summary of key issues identified by the public. The project newsletters <br />and draft project deliverables will also be available online. Issues requiring additional or periodic follow- <br />up or public briefing will be tracked throughout the project. See summary below for more information <br />about the public participation pian. <br />W91-441, <br />iENTURY WEST <br />� 41.5' Page 135 <br />
