PRCAC to run public engagement campaign to guide TBD spending and meet county budget timeline
Summary
A subcommittee proposed a public engagement campaign — surveys, a launch town hall and key informant interviews — to create a 3–5 year strategic plan that will inform Transportation Benefit District spending and align with county budget deadlines.
A subcommittee presented a proposed public engagement plan to shape a 3‑ to 5‑year strategic plan for Transportation Benefit District (TBD) funds. The campaign would include community surveys, at least one launch town hall for transparency, key informant interviews and potentially focus groups to identify community priorities that can be used to apply for matching state grants.
The presenters said a ratified community plan strengthens grant applications and helps avoid ad‑hoc decisions. Committee members recommended compressing the outreach timeline so a recommended project could be positioned for November budgeting; the chair said the county budget timeline requires early notice to county staff so proposals can be included in next year's budget. Committee volunteers agreed to help craft survey questions and carry out interviews.
One member urged clarity about what TBD money can pay for so public input remains focused. The committee did not vote on the plan but directed the subcommittee to refine the timeline and bring a final draft to a future meeting for ratification and possible vote.
