IPRTF members praise Ferndale Justice Project event, ask for written feedback summary
Summary
After a well‑attended Ferndale town hall on the Justice Project implementation plan, steering members asked staff to summarize written feedback and data gathered at stations so the task force can use community input ahead of its December meeting.
Steering committee members reported on a community event in Ferndale tied to the Justice Project implementation plan and asked staff to compile and circulate a written summary of attendee feedback.
Peter and other members said the event’s station format produced robust conversations across a range of perspectives. One member asked that staff summarize the written feedback forms collected at the event and circulate that summary before the next IPRTF meeting: “I would love to see a summary of that,” a member said, urging that the distilled written feedback be shared with the task force in advance.
Members noted informal note‑taking had been limited and recommended more deliberate collection methods for future events (notepads at stations, assigned note‑takers, or QR‑code surveys). Bertie and others volunteered to help ensure more consistent data capture and suggested tallying interactive inputs (for example, pebbles in jars used to prioritize behavioral health versus jail size).
Why it matters: members said community feedback will help refine the implementation plan and action priorities for 2026 and ensure that public concerns are captured accurately rather than inferred from conversation alone.
Next steps: staff will run a wrap‑up meeting (referenced for the following week) to prepare a summary of written feedback and bring a short steering report to the IPRTF meeting on the fifteenth.
