DISCUSSION
1. What questions and/or comments do you have about the Community Engagement Plan?Is
anything missing?
• How are target audiences being reached beyond the survey and the CAC?
o Focus Groups/Stakeholder Interviews - we'll be conducting eight meetings
during the next few weeks with people representing specific organizations
and interests.
o Kyra will be attending citywide board/group meetings to share about the
plan.
o Periodic report-outs via email and/or phone to engaged groups and
communities to encourage two-way communication and feedback.
• Will materials be translated?
o The survey will be translated into Spanish and the City provides additional
translation services for other documents upon request with the exception
of very long reports or similar documents.
• Does the plan have any youth liaisons?
o The CAC includes one youth member, Kyra is following up with them re:
participation.
o Youth outreach will also be conducted at the Teen Center.
• On one of our committees, it has been helpful to have two youth representatives
to ensure participation by at least one of them. (CAC comment)
• Will this plan overlap with the Urban and Community Forestry Plan Update?
o Kyra will coordinate with the Lake Oswego Planning Department for
relevant information.
• How is social media being utilized for this Plan?
o Periodic social media blasts across City social platforms using the City-
wide accounts.
• Add Lake Oswego School District Special Education Advisory Board to
engagement efforts.
2. What questions and/or comments do you have about the State of the System?Is anything
missing? What else is important to highlight?
• Missing:
o Section addressing multi-modal access and pedestrian connectivity to
parks. It's very important to be able to access parks, particularly for young
people. The new skate park at Rassekh Park will be a good example.
o Connecting recommendations from this process to other City departments
and planning processes also is important. The Parks Plan 2040 could have
policies that address other city planning topics.
• Revisions:
o Update Park Facilities counts (exclude school district properties)
o Add Historical Resources to Inventory
o Update Table 5, add "N/A" to empty cells
3. Public Comment
• Friends of Luscher Farm Board Member requested that the CAC and LO 2040
process consider the unique nature of Luscher Farm and stated that they will be
following along closely.
