Public Participation Plan-DRAFT I April 28.2021 <br /> Introduction <br /> Effective public outreach in any planning process promotes awareness and understanding, <br /> creates confidence in the given project, and ensures community interests and needs are <br /> appropriately addressed throughout the process. An interactive relationship among City staff, <br /> supporting experts, decision-makers, interested parties, the community, and Lisa Wise Consulting, <br /> Inc. (LWC) helps lead to overall project success. <br /> The Public Participation Plan (PPP) describes public outreach events and tools that may be used <br /> during the Housing Element Update process. The PPP provides the opportunity for the City and <br /> LWC to collaborate and strategize on public engagement. <br /> Outreach will be provided in a manner consistent with State requirements and is intended to <br /> engage a variety of community stakeholders, including representatives from all economic <br /> segments of the community. As such, both traditional forms of outreach (e.g., print media) and <br /> electronic methods (via social media and other similar forums) are included. <br /> Outreach is also intended to provide timely and adequate opportunities for public information <br /> dissemination and engagement and allow for effective and constructive public participation. <br /> Compliance with social distancing restrictions in the context of the current COVID-19 crisis is also <br /> reflected in this PPP. However, recognizing that the region and the State are starting to transition <br /> to allow more in-person events and meetings, this PPP is intended to allow for flexibility and <br /> incorporate both hybrid and entirely in-person meetings should health regulations and advice <br /> allow. <br /> PPP Components <br /> The PPP components are organized into Public Outreach Events (e.g., Commission and Council <br /> meetings, community meetings, etc.), and Public Outreach Tools (e.g., project website, social <br /> media, online surveys, etc.). The purpose and objective, approach, timing, and roles of each <br /> component of the PPP are described below. A draft stakeholder list of organizations to include in <br /> targeted outreach for the Housing Element Update is included as an appendix. <br /> City of Pleasanton I Housing Element Update(6th Cycle) I Page 1 <br />
