key stakeholders to be engaged in the process. We anticipate this group will include business leaders, members from the Chamber, staff and decision makers, local non -profits, economic development groups, builders and developers, infrastructure service providers and public works, transportation providers and other local leadership as determined with City Staff. These meetings would be facilitated by Design Workshop with support from city staff. We anticipate being involved in up to three (3) Advisory Committee meetings, taking place roughly every 3 months to guide the project progress, provide key input and serve as liaisons to reaching the broader community. Task 2.3 Focus Groups To begin our Community Engagement, we propose a series of Roundtable Focus Group discussions to understand the important issues to community members as determined with the city staff in the SKO. We will work with staff to develop a list of stakeholders and schedule focus group meetings early in the planning process to gather their thoughts on the areas' opportunities and challenges. We will host a total of 6 topical conversations — this input will lay the groundwork for understanding priorities and trade-offs for the plan. Task 2.4 Engagement Window #1: Community Vision We strongly believe in an engagement process that is highly interactive. Open and transparent communication with the community and stakeholders (residents, businesses, referral entities and stakeholders), elevates the plan's relevance and can help ensure its adoption and future action. In order to reach a broad spectrum of county residents, we recommend translating engagement and outreach material into Spanish. Design Workshop as included Spanish translation of the survey as a base service and can provide additional translations for virtual tools as well as materials such as flyers and engagement boards as an additional service. The first phase of engagement will consist of the Community Workshop, Online and in person Idea Walls, Community Surveys. • Community Survey I We will work with city staff to develop an open questionnaire and online survey to capture what people love about Louisville and their hopes for the future. This may cover a full range of land use considerations that need to be informed by public opinion including housing options, mobility options, density preferences, economic development, and the natural environment. Design Workshop uses Qualtrics, an online program, to create and analyze surveys. Our scope anticipates Design Workshop will create the online survey and the City will distribute their website and social media channels. In addition, we suggest using business cards with a QR code and Flyers around the community to share information. The survey would be provided in English and Spanish. Handouts and/or business cards with a QR code will be provided for distribution at community events encouraging people to take the online survey. Community Workshop 1: Community Visioning. The goal of every workshop undertaking is to engage the community in meaningful ways to spur excitement and creativity and build capacity. The purpose of this workshop is to capture and reflect the needs and priorities of all residents and ultimately, demonstrate to the community that their stories, concerns and hopes and will drive the formation of the comprehensive plan. We will gather feedback around growth needs and concerns and current trends to aid the process in understanding the various elements that citizens feel are important to a long-term vision for the Louisville Community. Exercises may include Mapping, Sticky Wall or SWOT for idea collection, Visual preference Survey for community values and/or 13
