City staff reports two online surveys — urban growth boundary and Keizer Rapids Park pavilion — and requests volunteers for a July youth event
Summary
City staff told the committee two surveys are live on the city website (an urban growth boundary question and a proposed pavilion at Keizer Rapids Park). Staff also mentioned a July 27 community youth event run by a local nonprofit seeking volunteers or a table from committee members.
City staff told the Community Development Advisory Committee that two city surveys are currently available on the City of Keizer website: one on whether the city should pursue intentional expansion of the urban growth boundary, and another on a proposed pavilion at Keizer Rapids Park.
A city department head said the department is considering how to involve the advisory committee at the front end of these public engagement efforts, and that incorporating the committee’s input could change the way the city solicits public comment and data from residents.
When asked whether the surveys were available online, a staff member replied, “They're currently on our website.” Committee members were encouraged to review the surveys and to suggest ways the committee could participate in future public outreach.
Staff also announced a July 27 community youth event hosted by a local nonprofit (name not fully specified in the transcript) and invited committee members to volunteer or host an informational table. The department head described the nonprofit as a youth-focused organization that ran a successful trick-or-treat event the prior year and suggested the event would be a good opportunity for the committee to engage residents informally.
City staff said they plan to coordinate with the committee as it develops engagement surveys and will consider changes to how city departments incorporate advisory-committee feedback into outreach campaigns.
