Committee to hold public workshop and broaden outreach—surveys, mailings and chamber briefings suggested
Summary
Members proposed a public workshop to present two options, run online/email surveys, update property-owner mailing lists, and brief the chamber of commerce to increase participation ahead of any board vote or Prop 218-style action.
Committee members prioritized broadening community engagement: a public workshop to show both in-district and Solvang options, an email/survey mechanism for feedback, and direct mail to property owners. Chair said the district should ensure multiple channels for public input because "we're gonna get... people saying 'what's it gonna cost me?'" and attendance can be inconsistent without strong outreach.
The committee recommended updating property-owner mailing lists, engaging the chamber of commerce for wider visibility, and using the "state of the district" video content as shareable material. Members also discussed timing of direct mail and workshops so property owners receive notice well in advance of any formal vote.
Provenance: topicintro — "And maybe, a thought is to do it in a workshop setting so that we can take a more public conversation." (SEG 706–709). topfinish — "So the the struggle, of course, is your number of people that list their home address and the mailing address." (SEG 1256–1258).
