information will be presented with ample opportunity for the Council to give their feedback and review feedback the community provided to the project team. At the second set of ineetings, CONSULTANT will present a range of options and solutions to solve community identified issues to the community (#2). Feedback through interactive displays, maps, ranking of various project elements, is anticipated. This timeframe will be when the on line survey would be live to capture similar feedback on project alternatives and prioritization of elements. At the second Council Study Session (#2) the community and web feedback will be tallied and discussed. Council will also be able to give their reflections on the options presented. At the third community meeting (#3), a narrowing of alternatives will be discussed as a `preferred set of project elements" will be being finalized. Two or three main variations will be highlighted. The Council (#3) will also see these alternatives and will be informed of community feedback. Council should give its thoughts and feedback with the understanding that the next step would be to move into the environmental process. The next set of community meetings is to support the environmental process. Environmental Meeting(#1) is a scoping meeting where formal scoping comments are taken. This will start with an Open House staffed by the project team then move into a brief PowerPoint about the purpose and need for the project and review of suggested alternatives that meet the stated purpose and need. These will be the alternatives developed throughout the three meeting community planning process described above along with any alternatives or alternations Council will provide at its various Council Study Sessions. During the Scoping comments section of the meeting the format will be very formal requiring questions be read or left in written form for the inclusion in the environmental documentation. A court reporter is usually also in attendance. A hearing officer is present to remind the attendees of the purpose and format for the meeting. The community is reminded that the answers to any impacts are not yet available and that the purpose of the meeting is to define issues for the environmental technical specialists (traffic and noise experts, etc.)to study. It is anticipated that CITY staff will bring the results of the scoping meeting to the Council's attention via a project update but no Study Session is anticipated at this stage. After the second environmental meeting (#2)the Draft environmental document will be available for review. These meetings are typically scheduled at the front end of the formal comment period. Community members attending this meeting will find a PowerPoint review of the project, its purpose and need, the alternatives and the highlights of the environmental issues in the Draft document. Attendees will be educated on how to provide additional comments or questions into the process. At the Council Study Session (#4) during this phase of the project the Council will be similarly reviewing the content of the Draft environmental document and well as the comments from the community to date prior to the close of the comment period. The Council at this meeting could discuss and decide to agendize for a formal Council meeting whether they wished to provide comments for the Draft environmental document.
