DRAFT The public involvement process begins with the formation of a steering committee made up of members integrally knowledgeable and involved in the process. Next, stakeholders representing a diversity of interests are identified and consulted individually. Concurrent with the technical work of data collection and analysis, community workshops, in conjunction with the City's Evaluation and Appraisal Process, are held to offer all community members an opportunity to be involved in an informal setting. As the plan approaches completion, public hearings are held to give public officials and the general public the opportunity to hear, comment, and approve the plan. Staff Review by Task The City Project Manager will be responsible for the selection of appropriate City Staff to provide expertise and review results/efforts of each Task on an ongoing basis. Community Workshops Two separate Community Workshops will be held throughout the duration of the project. The first Community Workshop will be held after the analysis of existing conditions. It will explain the strengths and weaknesses in the system today and in the future. Ideas will be gathered for how to mitigate deficiencies. It will also be focused on the acceptance and prioritization of projects. Public Hearings At the culmination of plan development process first and second public hearings will be held with the City Commission, giving the public further opportunity to participate.
