Staff unveils 'Framing Our Future' web hub, ambassador toolkits and business‑card QR code to centralize outreach
Summary
Communications staff previewed a draft "Framing Our Future" web hub with FAQs, infographics and an open question prompt, plus downloadable toolkits for councilors and community ambassadors and a business‑card QR code aimed at driving residents to the hub.
Communications staff showed the council a draft engagement hub and supporting materials intended to centralize outreach for the Framing Our Future financial planning process.
Danielle (communications) walked council through a proposed web hub that would host a brief open question, FAQs, infographics (including a property tax comparison), a list of related projects and a "who's listening" contact section. Staff emphasized the need to provide plain‑language background before soliciting open‑ended input so responses are usable for later cost and prioritization work.
Doug and communications staff described tangible tools to mobilize outreach: a three‑by‑two business card with a QR code that staff and councilors can hand out at events, downloadable social media kits, and short printable council talking points. Doug explained the distribution plan: "We'll have literally thousands of copies. All our staff will have them. All of you will have them," and said the hub would be a single, authoritative place for materials and answers.
Councilors requested a one‑week review window for the draft hub before public launch and discussed using the city print newsletter (OWL) and routine events to amplify the project. Staff noted the OWL print schedule requires mid‑March deadlines for an April mailing if that launch timing is chosen.
