Council outlines timeline for rulemaking, strategic priorities and public outreach
Summary
Staff told the council they plan to complete initial strategic‑priority proposals by spring 2026, have the agency program fund operational by fall 2026, and the community impact fund by early winter 2027; staff also committed to a public communications strategy, a website, and broad partner outreach.
Council staff presented a preliminary timeline and communications plan for designing program rules and strategic priorities. Nicole Manis said the council will develop strategic priorities through an inclusive, public process and that the agency program fund could be operational by fall 2026 while the Community Impact Fund will likely take longer, with an initial target of early winter 2027.
Staff described forthcoming outreach tools: a website with meeting materials and a newsletter, targeted engagement with partner networks, and timelines to ensure stakeholders have time to provide meaningful input. Council members requested frequent early check‑ins on investment outcomes and expressed interest in creating a finance subcommittee and advisory roles for experts and stakeholders to monitor the fund as it is implemented.
