Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised 07/02/2021 Rincon Consultants for Housing Element Update and EIR Exhibit A – Page 2 of 21 Task B. Community Outreach and Engagement We understand that the City values community input and engagement. Gaining the attention and participation from a broad -based, diverse, and significant representation of San Leandro residents will require a strong community outreach and engagement plan. The Rincon team will develop a tailored community outreach plan providing at least four opportunities for involvement throughout the plan development process with engagement strategies that encourages participation broadly with all members of the San Leandro communi ty and makes diversity, equity, and inclusion critical priorities. During the initial planning phase, the project team will be gathering data to evaluate existing housing programs and completing an analysis of the city’s existing, projected, and special housing needs. During this time the project team will develop the community outreach and engagement plan, stakeholder database, webpage content and branded communication materials for both digital and print distribution. To build broad-based community awareness and encourage participation in plan development, the Rincon team will develop advertising and promotional strategies for both broad-base and targeted awareness especially within the under-represented, disadvantaged communities. Our team will host an early virtual community workshop via Zoom, a web-based platform, and will use online collaborative engagement tools such as Miro and live polling to identify and understand the needs and priorities of the community. This live workshop will be followed up with a digital community survey hosted on the project webpage which allow for additional community-wide participation over the course of two weeks. Once preliminary opportunity sites are identified, the project team will develop a branded interactive community engagement exercise which will allow community members to “fill in the gaps” of housing needs by providing their thoughts on where and how many dwelling units should go on which opportunity sites. Depending on current public health COVID -19 guidelines, the project team would create an interactive map-based activity in either digital or print form which will allow community members to provide input on opportunity sites. Using a web-based platform such as Konveio our team will create a visually rich overview of the draft plan which will provide important highlights of and allow for community members to comment on the draft plan. Participatory Mapping Rincon will prepare an interactive digital map that will allow constituents and stakeholders to provide comments directly onto an interactive map of the project. The map is a fun, interactive way for stakeholders to drop comments on specific locations on the map or provide overall feedback for the project as a whole. The digital map will be part of the project website and used at community workshops and meetings to DocuSign Envelope ID: 52DE9C19-FF3F-4BE0-99DB-BF80F1BD0FBC
