Project team outlines public engagement: survey planned for March, group interviews and open house in spring

City project staff and the consultant team described the upcoming public engagement schedule for the climate element work and recommended a public‑facing landing page distinct from the advisory library.

The project team said a community survey is tentatively planned to run in March, with draft survey questions to be shared with CPAT for a short "red flag" review window. The team also plans targeted group interviews this quarter and an open house in the spring. Alexandra (city staff) said the team will coordinate translations and outreach and will provide CPAT opportunities for input outside regular meetings.

On web content, the team recommended separating the CPAT document library from a more public climate‑element landing page that summarizes the project, explains how residents can sign up for updates, and presents outreach opportunities. Mark Hoffman and staff discussed cross‑linking between an advisory library and a public landing page and ensuring a consistent mailing‑list or newsletter mechanism for updates.

Project staff said they will circulate a draft survey for quick review and will schedule interviews with community groups identified by staff and the project team. The team also noted a need to incorporate CPAT feedback into public materials and to flag the slope/stability risk in the vulnerability assessment as suggested by a member.

Key near‑term dates mentioned in the discussion: CPAT will meet next on February 12; the consultants plan a March inventory update back to CPAT and the survey window in March, with a final inventory and emissions‑forecast discussion on April 15.
