Board emphasizes workshop format and mailers; communications firm RGS to assist
Summary
Board members said they prefer an interactive workshop over a formal comment format and discussed spending on mailers and PO box outreach; a director said the board will work with communications firm RGS.
Board members said they want an interactive workshop format rather than a strict three-minute public-comment structure, arguing that a workshop will allow deeper discussion and better community input. One speaker summarized the preference: "What the community is, I think, made pretty clear is they like the workshop format versus, you know, kind of the very formal home. You know, you get your 3 minutes, they wanna have a discussion." (S2)
Directors also discussed outreach logistics and expense, including mailed postcards to property owners and use of PO boxes, and noted the communications firm RGS has been consulted for planning. A director said the mailers are one of the larger outreach expenses and urged staff to coordinate timing with the technical review and Wallace Group availability.
