RPP #2020-073 • CITY OF EVERETT PARKS, RECREATION & OPEN SPACE PLAN <br />Southwest Urban Growth Area Boundary Planning Study. BERK led a multidisciplinary <br />team to develop a study of a 10,000 acre area east of Mill Creek and Bothell to study <br />environmental conditions and hypothetical scenarios. In addition to considering physical <br />conditions, the County desired to consider public input on what is working well and what <br />could work better in the study area. BERK developed an online survey garnering 1,100 <br />survey results, and conveyed the results of the study in an interactive StoryMap. <br />Yakima Housing Action Plan. BERK is currently working with the City on their ESHB 1923 <br />grant -funded housing action plan. Even through COVID-19 we developed an adaptive <br />engagement framework including engaging with the appointed Yakima Community <br />Integration Committee (CIC) to develop an engagement plan. We also formed a <br />technical Housing Advisory Committee made up of trusted advocates, agencies, and <br />community members. Both the CIC and Technical Housing Advisory Committee have <br />been partners by networking, holding their own discussions with their constituent, and <br />getting the word out to groups who have not traditionally participated in planning <br />processes. Our initial survey response was low when it came. to Spanish-speaking <br />community members, who make up more than 40% of the city population. So, we <br />changed course. We put ads out m Spanish via the Internet and printed media, <br />encouraged Latinx community liaisons to reach out to their friends, neighbors, and <br />families, and saw a bump on our second survey push to reflect the population <br />breakdown in the community. <br />City of Lynnwood Housing Action Plan. Another diverse community in <br />Snohomish County, BERK has developed a public engagement plan and <br />protect logos, conducted online engagement with an advisory board, <br />developed online open house and handout materials in multiple <br />languages, and engaged in person (socially distant) with multicultural <br />communities, made connections with local community members to help <br />share information about this project. One such effort included engagement <br />with the local Sikh community at temple services. We were able to connect directly with <br />community members and provide insights about the project. This sort of grassroots effort <br />might take a little while to produce the engagement numbers the City is looking for, but will <br />be a long-standing and successful relationship between the community and City staff for <br />years to come. <br />Pro aslstencia <br />de ernergencla para <br />trahajadores agrfcalas <br />- _.-.. t. - - - - w <br />r.v.naraad. dald..d.. <br />askdd.ltum.id Qk#* <br />c SzIMa 4.-.ntlad K2.. <br />mt.& <br />.n.....,.....p.•Wfati..4.. <br />Reempiazo Ar[Fcufar <br />RIM <br />de <br />Nime <br />odeld <br />pmimln <br />:ill PROPOSAL • SUBMITTED OCTOBER 27, 2020 <br />35 <br />
