area homes. Cesar Acosta will contact committee members to follow up on
contact progress.
Staff presented and the Steering Committee reviewed the sign and flyer.
• A bit wordy, but not sure what to change.
Questions and concerns from the Steering Committee.
• People want to know their time will not be wasted.
• Anticipate being asked questions that the committee members will need to
be able to answer
• What can he say to put people at ease that their voices will matter, and
input will be respected? Perception of distrust of City and that the City
already has plans to proceed and voices will not matter – waste of time
• People may wonder if they have not done this already. How is this
different from the meeting a couple of months ago?
• Will District 1 City Councilperson be there? Asked for confirmation.

• A lot of neighbors are elderly; some do not use internet. How can people
without internet ask questions? Who can they contact for information?

The Steering Committee reviewed the signs presented and discussed locations to
place the signs.
• Down Maple Street.
• Ok with placing in yards.
• In front of Getsemani.
• At entrances to neighborhood – Pine Street.
Staff presented a list of Frequently Asked Questions.
• What is the role of the Steering Committee?
• What is a neighborhood plan?
• Why should/can I be involved?
• Who do I reach out to for suggestions/input?
• How long will this process take?
• What topics will this plan address?
• How did this project come to be?
The Steering Committee added to the list of FAQ’s.
• Is the City aware of builders having plans in the works, and is that
prompting this initiative?
• Who has the final say on the plans?
It was asked and Carter Coleman, APD stated the edits to the flyer will be within
24 hours. Yard signs will need to be ordered. City staff stated early next week the
