EDAC discusses community identity project; suggests council briefing, wider outreach and art committee collaboration
Summary
The EDAC discussed next steps for a community identity enhancement project — including polling, coordination with the city's art/public-places group, and inviting Councilmember Ben Affield to an EDAC meeting for clarification on goals and survey scope.
EDAC members reviewed progress on the community identity enhancement project and agreed to seek additional clarity from City Council and the city’s art/public-places group before moving to public polling or a mascot selection.
Members noted prior polling done for Parks and Recreation yielded several hundred responses on a pool question but did not fully address identity items. EDAC discussed engaging the city’s art/public-places committee (referred to in the meeting as "KLVB" or variants) for the artistic component and recommended inviting Councilmember Ben Affield to the next EDAC meeting to clarify the council’s expectations and define the core questions a survey should ask.
Justin and other members emphasized groundwork: "we need that a good part of that has to do with our sort of developing a community identity before we can develop a mascot or anything like that," and EDAC agreed to email-circulate an invitation to the councilmember and include Eric on the copy. The committee also discussed possible joint meetings with the art committee and additional outreach options to ensure any survey produces useful and representative results.
No formal action was recorded; EDAC set a direction to invite Ben Affield and to follow up with the city's art committee and staff to scope next steps.
