STEP 1:DEVELOP PROSECT UNDERSTANDING &OUTREACH STRATEGY
At the start of any project,JLA will meat with Tigard's project team and any relevant partners from outside of the City to discuss and
identify:
x,Project and public involvement goals:Clearly articulating the purpose and goals is key to understanding who to include and forms
the basis for an engagement plan.We will identify the public involvement goals,including the level of involvement—ranging from
providing information,to collaborating,to empowering communities.
Who to involve:We will lead an exercise to identify target audiences and key stakeholders.We anticipate partnerships with local
community-based organizations to help provide grassroots outreach to non-English speaking and underserved communities,if
needed.
Decision-making structure:Determine who is responsible for final decisions,as well ask stakeholders and jurisdictional leaders who
need to buy-off on decisions throughout the process.This will inform our recommendations on public involvement activities.
Budget and resources:These are essential variables to consider when developing any engagement plan.JLA does not necessarily
view them as limiting factors,since we can often come up with creative solutions that are just as effective buc require less budget
that traditional outreach methods.
titIhat we don't know:Any gaps in knowledge will need to be filled by research,such as stakeholder interviews or partnering with
community representatives.
Potential outreach activities,tools and techniques to best meet the project and outreach goals:This will include specific activities to
reach out to communities.JLA will identify existing engagement opportunities,such as community events and gatherings.We will
also look at the bigger picture to see how outreach for one project may support Tigard's broader goals.

STEP 2:DEVELOP COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLAN
For comprehensive prole cts(as oppc-sed to task-based assignments),JLA will develop a Community Engagement Plan that formalizes
the outcomes of the kickoff ruceOng and planning activities to provide further detail on outreach activities and facilitation strategies.In
addition to the elements outlined in Step l above,the plan may include:
Overview of outreach activities and implementation plan,including outlining the roles and tasks of JLA,Tigard and any other
consultants,partners or volunteers.
>>Schedule of activities and roles:We will develop a schedule of outreach activities and a table outlining Tigard's and consultant
responsibilities to implement those activities.The schedule will include anticipated lead time for development,review,and
finalization of outreach materials,as well as planning time for activities leading up to outreach eve:nt5 and corn murlltu rueeting;.
Work plan and schedule for advisory committee or work group,if applicable,along with an outline of topics and decisions to be
made at each meeting.
>>Ways that.Tigard may be able to leverage outreach on related projects or partner with other agencies to create a more cohesive and
efficient public process.
Schedule and deliverables assumptions,including timeline for drafts,reviews,and final deliverables and meeting summaries
STEP 3:IMPLEMENT,CHECK-IN &BE RESPONSIVE
Flexibility and responsiveness are critical in carrying out any public involvement campaign.The Community Engagement Plan will act as the
grounding document for implementing outreach—and JLA will adapt the outreach program as needed.JLA will follow these guidelines and
considerations when implementing the public involvement program:
Find the best ways to solicit input:JLA has experienced great success infusing our outreach plans with creative ideas and out-of-
the-box thinking to inspire awareness,participation and input.JLA will use a variety of tools to provide options to get involved,
including interactive on-site workshops,focus group meetings,virtual open houses,information booths and kiosks,briefings at
standing community meetings,surveys,and social media prompts.
»�*tner wlch communirV liaisons:JLA anticipates partnering with organizations and invol ingg,,'them as needed to provide .arxegy
guidance and community insight,facilitate or co-facilitate meetings in other languages,recruit participants,attend existing events,
and provide grassroots outreach services.JLA fosters partnerships that increase the organization's capacity to work with their
community and the agency.We will ensure that each outreach opportunity includes a variety of qualitative and quantitative
questions in order to assess public input in various ways.JLA will keep a log of all public comments collected and develop interim
and final summaries of the input received.
Facilitate meetings of every shape and size:Our role as neutral,third-party facilitators and meeting planners can take the pressure
off Tigard in public settings so you can focus on program management.Knowing that the success of a rneevag has as much to
do with advance preparation as the rm?eting it'se f,we will work with Tigard's sta'ri well ahead of the meeting to devOop a draft
annotated meeting agenda that incicides a detailed schedule,tcilkmy,points for each agenda item,meeting fT4c1t�ri�ISfprei�'{ltatl+�n5,
and roles and responsibilities of all staff.We will also prepare and/or review presentation materials to ensure they address the
agenda topics effectively and include messages that are relevant to the targeted group.
Summarize input from public meetings and outreach events:We can provide summaries ranging from a detailed report including
names and veibatirn comments to all overvleef of key themes.JLA specializes In taking sums-jaries a step ti,,rther To provide inslgh,
into key takeaways and insights directly related to the project's objectives and Tigard's broader outreach goals.
>:Document who is participating:JLA will make efforts to collect demographic information of participants to help Tigard understand
who is being reached,identify gaps in involvement,and allow follow-up and ongoing relationship building.
Consider follow-up and long-term relationships:For each outreach effort,JLA will endeavor to build Tigard's community network
and will provide recommendations for how relationships can continue to be fostered after the project.
8
STEP 4:EVALUATE SUCCESS&LESSONS LEARNED
At the conclusion of the project,JLA provide insightful and useful documentation to neatly close the door on the current project and
provide a jump start for future efforts.Our project wrap-up work includes:
n Debrief meeting:JLA will meet with the project team to discuss lessons learned,what could be changed or improved for future
engagement,and a general assessment of outreach effectiveness.Outcomes and insights will be incorporated into the final report.
>?Outreach Summary Report:Our summaries include an outline of all outreach activities as well as a high-level,categorized summary
of key input with visuals,such as charts and graphs,that make it easy to skim and get key information.
>>Stakeholder contact database and communications log:JLA will provide Tigard with any stakeholder contact database and
communications log developed during the project.
Continued Engagement Plan:We will outline a recommended approach for how Tigard can continue 4_rngaging the public and key
stakeholders,as appropriate.For example,recommendations may include a series of follow-up letters or emails letting participants
know how their feedback is being used,a list of events that Tigard could attend in the future,a timeline for re-engaging with key
stakeholders,or recommendations for stakeholders and leaders that could participate on future advisory committees for Tigard.
Fellow-up recommendations will be presented in tiers so that Tigard can scale efforts based on staffing capacity.This not only sets Tigard
up for the next project,but also increases trust and creates better informed decisions in the long-term.
