Title
General Plan Update Committee Procedures and Outreach Discussion (Attachment 2 - Memo Regarding Procedures)
Recommendation
Based on the feedback received at GPAC’s meeting on December 6, 2023, City staff has prepared a memo to outline suggested procedures for the GPAC, including four key recommendations to promote more effective engagement and use of the GPAC’s time and effort. In addition, Dudek and Kearns & West have worked alongside City staff to create and launch the online engagement platform through Social Pinpoint that will continually evolve over time. This website initially serves as both a way for those interested in the General Plan Update to formally keep updated, as well as a repository of documents and information related the update. Part of the initial efforts will be pop-up events to begin getting the word out to the community regarding the update. The GPUSC reviewed the enclosed procedures at its December 20, 2023 meeting and concurred with the recommendations therein.
Recommended Actions:
(1) Review, discuss, provide feedback on the recommendations, and if the GPAC concurs with the recommendations, then receive and file;
(2) if appropriate, consider identifying a chairperson for each GPAC Subcommittee or direct staff to work with each Subcommittee directly to identify this person to report back at a future meeting; and
(3) provide feedback on the commencement of the outreach and engagement efforts, including but not limited to pop-up events and review of the website.
