■ Awareness-raising through a mix of printed and branded media, social campaigns, and digital meetings. ■ Project website. ■ Connections with the Board of Park Commissioners, neighborhoods, cultural groups, and local organizations. • Survey and poll opportunities. Engagement: System Recommendation Stage The focus of this phase of engagement is on sharing visioning results and developing concepts about how to reshape the parks, trails, and recreation system to meet current needs, expected growth, and community desires. We will engage around opportunities for parks in station areas, filling gaps in the trails and park system, and other needs and opportunities identified in the Vision Stage. Community members and partner organizations will identify, rank, and prioritize investments across the City. This prioritization will identify gaps where partnership, phased approaches, or revisions to the ranking may be necessary. An equity lens will be an important component of this process to ensure that this list is reflective of the needs of the entire community, and not just the vocal few. Specific engagement activities will include a survey, online or in-person workshops, additional discussion groups, and additional interface with the Parks Board. Engagement: Draft Plan Stage In this final engagement phase, we will share a complete Draft Plan with stakeholders, including the community at large and partner groups that have been active in the planning process to date. We will use in-person discussions, as well as online opportunities such as an online open house, StoryMap, or survey to solicit input. We will also begin the traditional legislative process with the Parks Board and City Council in this phase and consolidate all input into the Final Plan. SCHEDULE A monthly schedule is illustrated below. It identifies the three phases of engagement as well as the detailed tasks to develop the PROS Plan and associated Impact Fee and other funding and implementation strategies. The team will develop and maintain a weekly schedule as well. Impact Fee Study. The first draft schedule proposes an interim area-specific impact study to be completed by May 2021 to ensure collection of fees for the year. Given the amount of work required to develop an impact fee study, as well as the required Commerce 60-day review period, delivering a fully comprehensive study by May 2021 would require an impact fee study based on existing plans and standards, prior to the refreshed information that will be part of the PROS update (for example, public input on capital needs). Completing a study on this timeline may also require an adoption of amendments to existing planning documents to match the impact fee program. We understand the current interest in having the study completed for 2022 budgeting, and have included a second schedule with the Impact Fee Study complete in May 2021 but with potential time for supplemental revisions and adjustment to the Impact Fee program should the PROS identify important near term capital projects or phasing different than the understanding in spring 2021 period. :ill DRAFT November 2020 Everett PROS Plan Update Preliminary Outreach and Engagement Plan 9
