I I Scope of Work/Methodology EDAW, Inc. I TASK C. Public Participation Program C.I Task Force Meetings and Interviews of Key Stakeholders While the existing conditions work is proceeding, EDA W will begin to solicit input from the Task Force on the ideas and visions for the Downtown. We understand the City has done an excellent job through the Idea Exchange Program to get the community excited about the potential for the Downtown. We will also begin to participate in small meetings with key stakeholders and groups identified as part of the TAC meeting above (Task AS). The intent of these meetings is to solicit input into the goals and objectives to be achieved by the study, confirm issues as generated by the team, and give ideas for improvement of the Downtown. We propose up to S meetings with groups of individuals with similar interests (e.g. residential developers, or downtown retail interests) that again, may not be accessible as part of the Task Force. I I I I I We suggest that the Task Force meet approximately monthly, allowing for in- depth research or Plan preparation to occur between meetings. Some months may require two meetings while others may require none. A potential agenda of major topics is listed below recognizing that this list in not necessarily all inclusive: We understand that the Task Force may want to have outside speakers occasionally attend the meetings and give presentations on various topics and lessons learned. EDA W through its extensive network, can assist the staff in identifying persons who would volunteer their expertise and advice. We suggest a developer panel and potential Urban Land Institute review later in this scope, however it may be possible for individuals associated with revitalization in other cities such as Mountain View, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton, Burlingame, San Jose and other cities to attend the Task Force meetings.
