General Plan Update Committee Procedures and Outreach Discussion
(Attachment 2 - Memo Regarding Procedures)

Based on the feedback received at GPAC’s meeting on December 6, 2023, City
staff has prepared a memo to outline suggested procedures for the GPAC,
including four key recommendations to promote more effective engagement and
use of the GPAC’s time and effort. In addition, Dudek and Kearns & West have
worked alongside City staff to create and launch the online engagement platform
through Social Pinpoint that will continually evolve over time. This website initially
serves as both a way for those interested in the General Plan Update to formally
keep updated, as well as a repository of documents and information related the
update. Part of the initial efforts will be pop-up events to begin getting the word
out to the community regarding the update.
Recommended Actions: (1) Review, discuss, and provide feedback on the
recommendations. If the GPUSC concurs with the recommendations, direct staff
to share with the GPAC at a future meeting; and (2) Provide feedback on the
commencement of the outreach and engagement efforts, including but not limited
to pop-up events and review of the website.
Reviewing 2023, and Setting Expectations for 2024c.
As this is the last GPUSC meeting of 2023, the GPUSC is encouraged to reflect
on 2023, and to set expectations for the General Plan Update in 2024.
Recommended Action: Discuss and provide feedback, as appropriate.
