City shifts survey approach for annual action plan, plans in-person outreach and vision boards
Summary
Staff said the city will replace an unwieldy housing-focused survey with a short, priority-driven form, use Google Forms for public access, deploy tablets at events and a vision-board activity, and target outreach at community events through February.
City staff described a revamped public-engagement plan for the annual action plan that emphasizes short, targeted surveys and in-person outreach. Janie Christenson told the committee the city will retool its older, housing-heavy survey into a brief instrument focused on the 10 biggest priorities in the consolidated plan and will distribute it in Google Forms so the public can respond online.
Christenson said staff will also use tablets and a vision-board exercise at community events, coordinate with Parks & Rec and library programming, post QR codes on social media and track "stars" on the vision board at events to measure interest. "We're gonna take that out into the community for various events," she said, noting a goal of compiling feedback between November and February. Staff emphasized extra outreach to lower-income residents and stakeholders who serve them.
