Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised 04/17/2023 Terraphase Engineering for Sea Level Rise Master Plan Exhibit A – Page 4 of 13 • Background Questions: Background information questions to ease the interviewee into the conversation. • Challenges: Questions that address flooding and shoreline changes and impacts they are already seeing. The challenges draw directly from the lived experiences of the participants and are meant to elicit stories about the ways they have seen the shoreline change, and how flooding or shoreline loss impacts critical assets and places they care about. Maps with projected flooding scenarios will be presented with questions that address impacts of projected flooding to identify critical areas, assets, places that are of most concern, and elicit why they are important to them and their community. • Strengths: Questions in this category focus on how the community is currently resilient and their adaptive capacity. Participants will be asked questions to help identify community assets, services, indigenous practices, organizations, and gathering locations that support social cohesion and increase community resilience. The aim is to elicit stories about how these places or practices currently support community, culture, economy, connection to place, and emergency response and recovery. • Opportunities: These questions will be oriented around identifying community priorities for resilience and where the City should focus its efforts. Questions around what participants think are the most important aspects of their communities to protect, what is needed and what is not needed to further increase resilience for the future of San Leandro, and why. Interviewees will also be asked to describe current efforts to adapt, including planned projects, for example the Neptune Levy project, other shoreline projects, and the Long Beach Restoration Design Project. Terraphase anticipates that the translation of interviews will be performed by the City’s translation Services. Task 2.2.5 Summarize Interview Findings The team will summarize findings from the interviews in a concise Stakeholder Interview Summary memo. The memo will be organized by the participant group type or affiliation and organized into sections identifying Challenges, Strengths, and Opportunities. The information will be presented in such a way that the responses will be compiled in a simple to digest format for workshop presentations and to be shared with the public. The Challenges section will identify shared SLR and flooding concerns; generally, how flooding and shoreline change might impact their environment, their economies, and their culture, including cultural traditions and practices. Specific critical facilities and assets that City department representatives and community members view as vulnerable will be identified, including but not limited to, food, water, wastewater, shelter, emergency services, recreation, gathering places, natural habitats, energy, communication, transportation, and contaminated sites. The Strengths section will identify key resources, assets, services, and indigenous practices that serve as important resources for the community and increase resilience. The Opportunities section will describe community priorities for the shoreline master plan and what assets, locations, or natural and cultural resources are the most important to protect. This section will also summarize why these priorities are important to the community and how they increase their individual or community resilience in the face of future SLR.
