The Community Engagement Strategy will identify: • Roles and responsibilities of the consultant team, staff, and stakeholders in the planning process. • Timelines for outreach activities, coordinated with the phased presentation of each focus area. • Communication strategy for creating awareness, invitation, and creative buzz about the project. In addition to engaging residents, business owners, and development community stakeholders, the Engagement Strategy will also address outreach to engage low-income communities, minority residents, and non-English speakers through local community channels and/or pop up events at strategic locations in the city. The Community Workshops and Open House will also include translation and , if conducted in-person, childcare services.
Community Engagement Strategy. The R+A team will co-design an outreach strategy with the City, local community-based organizations, and community leaders to meaningfully engage a diverse and broad range of stakeholders. At a minimum, the Community Engagement Strategy will clearly identify the range of outreach tools and platforms and the timing and responsibilities related to each. The Community Engagement Strategy will: • Introduce the overall outreach process and engagement tools. • Identify numerous outreach targets overall and for specific stakeholder groups, such as youth and native Spanish speakers, using a “sampling plan.” • Outline project goals and objectives. • Identify outreach and communications responsibilities, and the engagement schedule relative to key dates and events in the community. • Provide an overview of interest groups, stakeholders, key advisors and members of the advisory committee, and the format of future meetings. • Establish methods for communicating with City staff and stakeholders. As part of this task, the R+A team will create a 2-page project fact sheet and FAQs. The project website should have an automated feature where participants can add their names to a project contact list.
