Board hears levy outreach update; in‑person turnout for informational meetings was low
Summary
Staff reported two informational levy meetings drew three attendees; the district is using email, newsletters, social media and non‑advocacy reminder calls to increase registration and turnout ahead of the vote.
District staff reported on outreach efforts for an upcoming levy and said two informational meetings since the last board meeting drew a total of three attendees. Staff described a multi‑channel outreach campaign — newsletters, social media, email to patrons and a non‑advocacy calling program to remind residents to register and vote — and said registered voters within the district have increased during the outreach period.
Staff emphasized the calls are informational rather than endorsements and said several staff members are volunteering time to make reminder calls. Trustees welcomed media coverage of levy information and encouraged continued outreach to raise turnout. No formal decision or change to levy language was made at the meeting.
Staff said they will continue outreach in the week before the vote and monitor registration and turnout numbers.
