Subcommittee sets public forums, stakeholder list and meeting schedule for strategic‑plan outreach
Loading...
Summary
The group agreed to draft a stakeholder list, ask members to send additions to Paul Cofer, schedule three public forums in early November (two evening, one daytime), and meet every second and fourth Wednesday at noon for the subcommittee with a work group meeting on alternate Thursdays with the consultant.
Kane County’s Strategic Plan Subcommittee on Sept. 24 assigned next steps for public outreach: finalize a stakeholder list, secure meeting venues across the county, and schedule in‑person public forums in early November.
Members asked colleagues to review and supplement the stakeholder list and to send additions to staff member Paul Cofer. Chair Anne said the stakeholder list will be used to distribute the survey and to invite organizations to the public process. “Send your additions to Paul Cofer,” a meeting participant said.
The subcommittee agreed to hold three public forums — two in the evening and one during the day — with suggested dates around Nov. 3–4 and to stage the meetings at centrally located public libraries (examples discussed included Gail Borden and other county libraries). Julie (staff member) and another volunteer agreed to confirm specific venues in Elgin and St. Charles.
For internal scheduling, the subcommittee set recurring meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays at noon and planned the consultant’s work‑group meetings on alternate Thursdays so staff and the consultant can support forum preparation. Members also discussed logistics such as round‑table seating for small‑group discussions at forums and the need for a community promotion plan ahead of the public events.
Members emphasized timely follow‑up: staff are to circulate the stakeholder list, book forum venues, and deliver a community promotion plan at the next subcommittee meeting.
