Resident urges in-person outreach hubs to boost engagement on storm-drain proposal
Summary
During public comment, a resident urged the committee to deploy staffed information tables at neighborhood hubs and named commercial corners, saying some residents do not use social media and prefer face-to-face contact.
A resident identified in the transcript as Miss Donnelly urged the committee to hold staffed tables at community hubs to reach residents who do not use social media or who filter online information. She suggested specific locations and said face-to-face outreach with volunteers could raise awareness and improve the measure's chances.
Miss Donnelly said, "I feel that you can go to certain hubs in the city... Have a table... and be able to pass out information to people who come by who are residents of our city," and added that a generic survey would not reach many residents in a small city. Committee members thanked her and discussed adding in-person touchpoints to the outreach plan and survey distribution strategy.
