Committee agrees to test neighborhood-night outreach, promote AngleFix with city handouts

Committee members agreed to staff several upcoming neighborhood-night events to increase community awareness of AngleFix and other code-enforcement resources.

Communications staff provided a printed handout that includes AngleFix information and a direct website URL. A committee member said the communications team had finished city branding and added AngleFix contact information to the welcome packet handout; staff confirmed limited quantities of the packet will be available at neighborhood events and the Mallee Center.

Several committee members volunteered for specific dates and parks across the summer schedule. Members discussed practical logistics: volunteers need not attend all four-hour events, a short shift is acceptable, and co-staffing with code officers or another committee could reduce burden. One member suggested a refrigerator magnet giveaway or other physical handout rather than relying solely on QR codes; communications staff confirmed materials can be produced and that the city’s main AngleFix outreach push is concluding but will remain available online and in utility mailers.

Why it matters: committee members framed this as an opportunity to be “the eyes and ears” of the city, to educate residents about reporting channels and to provide direct assistance to residents—particularly seniors—on how to use AngleFix. Members asked for reminder notices prior to events and for flexibility on attendance.

Next steps: staff said they will supply the committee with the printed handout for distribution and will circulate the neighborhood-night schedule so volunteers can confirm availability for targeted dates.
