News releases went out to the City Boards, Committees, and Commissions for <br />whom the City has e-mail addresses, to all media contacts, to neighborhood associations <br />for whom the City has e-mail addresses, to city managers of other nearby cities, to a <br />corporate list including the Chamber of Commerce, and to County and State elected <br />officials. <br /> <br />Staff also offered two "tutorials" to familiarize the public with the Draft DPP (using specific <br />projects as examples to "walk through" the Plan). Several architects and developers <br />attended these sessions. Staff also contacted adjacent neighborhood groups (Centennial, <br />Roosevelt and Stambaugh Heller) to offer a presentation of the Plan but they did not <br />express any interest. Staff has also presented the plan in various forums, including the <br />"Our Town Downtown" event on October 15th and various other venues such as the <br />Chamber of Commerce Committee meetings. <br />
