Approved 12.4.24 well. And then, again, I mentioned just the extension of the calendar. Additional meetings with 548 the county commissioners take preparation and feedback, and sometimes go in a little bit different 549 direction, so that equates to time as well. 550 551 Adam Beeman: Any other questions? 552 553 Beth Bronson: Are they doing another Facebook or another ad campaign that's in the included budget for the 554 second outreach, or is this second outreach part of the contract amendment? 555 556 Tom Altieri: So, the county is doing all the notification. 557 558 Beth Bronson: So, then you guys are planning to do another? I will say that when we spoke back about the 559 interactive map and I suggested leaving it up throughout this process or leaving the surveys up 560 throughout the longer period – and if you are going to be putting new online interactive maps up, 561 that's totally different. But by saying that like, by leaving up an aggregate of answers and then just 562 saying, for the purposes of these results, all answers received by August 25th were included. And 563 then at the next time, you can just include or cite a snapshot of what answers were included. Is 564 that a way to save time or energy to keep these resources up that maybe aren't being utilized very 565 much now but, in 6 months, may be heavily trafficked? 566 567 Tom Altieri: Not sure I'm totally understanding the question. There is a kickoff to the engagement window and 568 then a closing of the engagement window, and it's like September 18th the survey goes live, and 569 then it'll be shut down November 3rd. Then that's when the consultant has to consider the input 570 that's received to then use it to go to the next step and develop the draft plan and draft policies. 571 And then that would be released for the third engagement window. 572 573 Beth Bronson: Okay. So, it would just be this one. 574 575 Tom Altieri: Yes. 576 577 Cy Stober: To re-emphasize, this is a one-way trip, so the feedback we receive is on the road map. You 578 know, we're not revisiting these points. We are collecting the feedback, and we're preserving it, 579 and we are asking for the public's trust that we do have it. And it will be collected, and I think 580 we've got good evidence from Clarion that they're summarizing it in reports to the county, and 581 that's how it's being collected. There will be further opportunities for participation, but we don't 582 want to confuse the matter. We certainly want people to think that we're revisiting topics that, to 583 our minds as professionals, have been resolved and, good, bad, in between, we're moving 584 forward with. 585 586 Beth Bronson: And that does make sense. Maybe just a suggestion for the planning board that we could add it 587 as an agenda item over the next couple months after, like in between the second and third 588 engagement window, there might be an opportunity where we can talk about this as an either an 589 information topic, and I'm not requiring you to necessarily come and present on everything, but for 590 us to have a discussion about anything we've thought about or talked about. It would give a public 591 forum setting. So, I don't know if you guys are interested in that or how we would make a motion 592 to discuss that further or later with the planning staff, but having more informal and, I think, open 593 conversations in this public setting is a way that we can participate together. I just wanted to put 594 that out there. 595 596 Dolores Bailey: Tom, you mentioned earlier local leaders. Are you in touch with African American leaders, and 597 who are some of those that you are reaching out to? Clarion, right? Clarion is doing the 598 reaching? 599 600 Tom Altieri: Yeah, I'm doing that. 601 602
