Task 3: Project website, community outreach, public meetings/hearings Project engagement will be built on a broad and inclusive engagement strategy and will link to the County Public Engagement Plan. The options below will be synced with engagement on the Climate Element and the project schedule based upon budget allowances. The following will be considered in coordination with the County and will be refined as part of the engagement plan development process. These are intended to be examples of engagement tactics which will be refined. • Visioning activity at the beginning of the project to scope engagement events in relation to project schedule. • A limited number of stakeholder/focus group interviews at the beginning of the project. • Open houses to discuss plan drafts/proposals at the middle of the project. • Assistance with development of the project website. • Community Engagement for the Climate Element has been separately budgeted for under Task 17. Public meetings and hearings Attendance in person and/or virtually at up to six planning commission and Board of County Commissioner meetings and hearings. This number may be increased depending on other engagement preferred by the county. Engagement under the climate grant also provides for additional opportunities for public meetings and hearings. Stakeholder Interviews Will facilitate up to 8 individual stakeholder interviews. The purpose of the interviews is to gather input on the most important planning issues from a variety of perspectives. Interview results can be published in aggregate with individuals' input anonymized. County staff will help identify individuals or organizations to invite to interviews. Project Website The project website will be hosted on the County's website and administered by County staff. Project team will collaborate with County staff on the website content and provide updated information and deliverables that the County staff can post on the website. We will also provide graphics such as the project schedule for inclusion on the website. 2
