BACKGROUND At its meeting on June 6, 2022, the City Council authorized the Mayor to execute a contract up to $50,000 with Community Attributes, Inc. (CAI) to create an Economic Development Plan. At that time staff committed to return to Council for approval of the community engagement process. We are starting the engagement process and would like the Council's feedback and approval. Basic Plan: The City and CAI are close to signing a $50,000 contract for a "basic" plan. Under this scope of work, CAI would conduct research and analysis, write, design, and produce the Plan. It would also include standard community engagement such as a mobile friendly website, an online survey and in-person surveys at public meetings, community meetings and events, and gathering places. This will include Google Translate for the website and online survey. We will also form and coordinate an advisory committee of approximately eight people to provide general advice on the process and draft plan. Expanded Community Outreach: In addition to the $50,000 that Council authorized for creating the "basic" plan, the Council also provided budget for another $50,000 for expanded community engagement. This work may include "influencers" and/or community-based organizations to help engage with various groups based on culture, language, age, etc. It would include tailoring those contracts to work with those influencers and/or organizations on methods appropriate for each group. These methods may include surveys, conversations, interviews, focus groups, social media, or other ways. We hope to find fun and easy ways for the public to engage. As appropriate, tools and methods would include interpretation, translation, childcare, and participation incentives. The City might contract with these organizations directly or through CAI. If through CAI, staff may need to return to Council for approval to increase the amount of their contract. DISCUSSION We would like a community engagement process that welcomes Tukwila's diverse community. This includes residents, businesses, and property owners. The following are some possibilities. We would adjust based on availability of partners, resources, etc. 1. City Hosted Opportunities a. City Boards and Commissions b. City groups (e.g., Teens for Tukwila) c. City Facilities (Tukwila Community Center, Permit Counter, Spray Park, etc.) d. Parks and Recreation events (e.g., "See You in the Park") e.
