Engagement Strategy 5: Virtual Community Workshops <br /> Overview: BERK-led online workshops are opportunities to both share information and collect community <br /> input. <br /> Approach: Online meetings will include a brief presentation to share key findings and proposed <br /> strategies during the System Recommendation Stage. To ensure robust engagement, we will design <br /> interactive opportunities for participants to provide feedback, such as live online polling or breakout <br /> groups. We take great care that all participants can engage in such activities, regardless of their comfort <br /> with technology or native language. <br /> Roles: <br /> ■ City: review draft materials; host and participate in meetings. <br /> ■ BERK Team: develop draft and final materials described above; gather and summarize input. <br /> Engagement Strategy 6: Online Story Map and Questionnaires <br /> Overview: A project website or GIS-enabled StoryMap can be used to provide baseline information on <br /> needs, trends, and gaps; post updates; and capture ongoing input. <br /> Approach: We will generate a base map showing existing City of Everett parks and open space <br /> amenities, gaps, and opportunities. Interactive features will allow participants to identify both what they <br /> like and what they would like to see in the future during the Vision Stage. Targeted questions will focus <br /> on tradeoffs during the System Recommendations Stage. <br /> Roles: <br /> ■ City: review draft materials. <br /> ■ BERK Team: develop draft and final materials described above; gather and summarize input. <br /> Engagement Strategy 7: Legislative Process <br /> Overview: The BERK Team will support the City's legislative process with the Parks Board and City <br /> Council. <br /> Approach: Members of the BERK team will present or support City staff in keeping legislative bodies up- <br /> to-date on the planning process during the Vision and System Recommendation Stages. We will also <br /> support presentation of a Recommended Draft Plan during the Draft Plan Stage, including a summary of <br /> the analytic rationale and community input that contributed to the outcome. We will respond to questions <br /> and make revisions as requested before finalizing the document. <br /> Roles: <br /> ■ City: review draft materials; lead presentations or direct the BERK Team to lead presentations. <br /> ■ BERK Team: develop draft and final materials that integrate changes requested by the City's <br /> legislative bodies. <br /> s11IDRAFT November 2020 Everett PROS Plan Update Preliminary Outreach and Engagement Plan 16 <br />
