Roles: ■ City: review draft survey or focus group design. ■ BERK Team: develop draft and final survey or focus group design; summarize input. Engagement Strategy 3: Meeting-in-a-Box Virtual Community Listening Sessions Overview: BERK will provide materials and support for Relay Members to lead small virtual group discussions with members of their network during the Vision Stage. Relay Members would act as "trusted liaisons" to engage key audiences who may otherwise be less likely to engage with City or consulting team members. Approach: We will coordinate materials and provide a hands-on-training session for Relay Members. We will encourage Relay Members or City staff to coordinate listening sessions with existing community meetings or events (e.g., neighborhood, community and business organizations with regularly scheduled meetings who can accommodate a presentation on their regular agendas, or religious institution meetings), and to modify the design as needed to best serve their communities. For existing community meetings, listening sessions may take the format of a short presentation followed by a discussion to gather feedback. Additional options will include a brief slideshow with talking points and a feedback tool to report summary input. The presentation and materials will be updated twice over the course of the project to reflect progress. BERK will facilitate a call after each engagement to coordinate the engagement summary. Materials: ■ Draft meeting designs. ■ Talking points. ■ Draft slideshow and discussion questions. ■ Feedback collection tool (such as a simple online survey) that Relay Members can use to share what they heard with the BERK Team. Roles: ■ City: review draft materials. ■ BERK Team: develop draft and final materials described above; gather and summarize input. i 'I DRAFT November 2020 Everett PROS Plan Update Preliminary Outreach and Engagement Plan 14
