DISCUSSION: (for full comments, view the meeting recording)
Director Garner spoke about the upcoming Community Engagement Event. The date
has been changed to May 12, from 5-8 pm at the Elementary School. This event will
focus on the Choices Document and include an online survey and an interactive mapping
activity in English and Spanish. Documents for this will be on the Engage Estes website.
Phase II, Defining the Direction, will wrap up, and Phase III, Realizing the Plan, will review
the community choices and form the plan's backbone.
Member Blackhurst noted that small but vocal groups can dominate the discussion,
causing unbalance in the plan. Member Theis agreed and stressed the importance of
being proactive and encouraging as many people as possible to get involved.
Commissioner Shadduck-McNalley pointed out that listening to everyone and letting them
know that their voice matters is essential.
OTHER
Meeting in person would be advantageous but challenging. Director Garner proposed
that virtual meetings might be preferred if there isn't much content. It will be play-it-by-
ear for the next few months.
There being no further business, Chair Heiser adjourned the meeting at 9:40 am.
Karin Swanlund, Recording Secretary
