The City should engage the community through several methods including in-person, mail (e.g., utility bills), on television, and online. In doing so, the City will consider all potential climate campaigns associated with CAP 2.0 implementation and phase campaigns over time accounting for staffing, resources, and balancing other community messaging to ensure feasibility.

Outreach materials should be translated to Spanish, Chinese, and other commonly spoken languages in the community as identified by the Public Information Officer.
