The Consider.lt platform invited community members to prioritize potential GHG reduction strategies and weigh in on the advantages and disadvantages of each. With the COVID-19 pandemic hitting the US in March 2020, the City adjusted the CAP outreach timeline and approach. Rather than holding the second public workshop as planned in early summer, PlaceWorks and the Sustainability Office instead worked closely with the Green Team to refine the draft CAP strategies. The City uploaded the draft strategies onto an online platform, Consider.It, for the public to vote and comment on in September 2020. All of the strategies were translated into Spanish and Chinese on separate forums for accessibility. Targeted outreach was conducted to business leaders, regional agencies, and community champions. About 100 users responded across all of the forums. The Sustainability Office continued to hold small group presentations and discussions leading up to the second public workshop, including a focus group for black, Indigenous, and youth of color, a small group session for Chinese monolingual speakers, and one-on- one meetings with developers and businesses. The City hosted the second public workshop virtually in October 2020 using the Zoom online platform. Community partners and Green Team staff facilitated breakout rooms for specific discussions by stakeholder group. Spanish interpretation was provided. With the CAP draft policies available, the focus of the workshop was on implementation and how the community could collaborate to work on climate action together. Breakout groups were divided into faith groups, schools/youth, neighborhoods, businesses, families, and Spanish speakers and facilitated by representatives from the Interfaith Homeless Network, the San Leandro Unified School District Board, San Leandro High Eco Club, Mission Bay Mobile Home Community, Building Futures for Women and Children, San Leandro Chamber of Commerce, Community Impact Lab, and PlaceWorks, respectively. About 60 people attended the virtual workshop. Page 26 San Leandro 2021 Climate Action Plan
