2017 PARKS STRATEGIC PLAN Public Engagement Part 1 Summary UPDATED: August 14, 2017 2017 PARKS STRATEGIC PLAN Public Engagement Part 1 Summary UPDATED: August 14, 2017 INTRODUCTION The City of Issaquah is undertaking a 2017 update of its Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Plan, hereafter referred to as the 2017 Parks Strategic Plan. A critical component of this Plan is identifying and articulating the community’s vision for its parks system. A key part of Issaquah’s 2017 Parks Strategic Plan is public engagement, to help identify and articulate the community’s vision for its park system. The public engagement strategy includes ongoing activities to communicate about the project, and two targeted outreach phases: • Part 1: Focused on generating ideas and vision for the parks plan. Goals include gathering ideas for subareas and gathering public input on major issues to be addressed. This outreach was conducted between February and April 2017. • Part 2: Gather public input on priorities for the Plan, and gather feedback on the final Plan. This outreach will be completed later in 2017. This Public Engagement Summary provides a summary of all results received from Part 1 of the City of Issaquah’s public engagement activities related to the 2017 Parks Strategic Plan. Part 1 Outreach Activities Goals for Part 1 of the public engagement process included: • Gather ideas for subareas. Encourage participants to brainstorm ideas and share thoughts on the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities in each subarea. • Gather public input on major issues to be addressed. Are there community needs that the 2017 Parks Strategic Plan should address? How can the Parks and Recreation system better respond to ongoing trends in the community? Public engagement activities for Part 1 included six Community Workshops, online input via Peak Democracy, and social media. Participants were asked for their input on seven key outreach questions, including: 1. Concerning our community’s existing parks and trails, how are we doing? What are the strengths? What needs to be improved? 2. What are your favorite parks and trails? Why? 3. What’s your vision for parks and trails in Issaquah? What words/phrases would you use to describe your ideal future park system? How important are parks and trails in your life? 4. Dream big! What’s on your wish list for Issaquah’s parks and trails? (Please list specific projects and/or priorities.) New parks? New amenities? Reimagine existing parks and trails? 5. How is access to Issaquah’s parks and trails system? How can we improve your park and trail system access from your area of the city? 6. What’s your relationship to Issaquah? In what area of the City do you live or work? UPDATED: August 14, 2017 1 CITY OF ISSAQUAH 2017 PARKS STRATEGIC PLAN PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PART 1 SUMMARY 7. What other thoughts about Issaquah’s parks and trail system would you like to share with us? These public engagement opportunities were communicated to the public through a number of tools, including the project landing page on the City’s website, project calling cards, email updates, social media, and engagement of the Park Board. More detail about each opportunity is provided following. Subarea Community Workshops This series of six meetings introduced the 2017 Parks Strategic Plan project to the community and for the public to provide input on it. Meetings included maps and small group facilitated discussions that encouraged participants to share their ideas, opinions, and knowledge about Issaquah’s Parks system. Meeting dates, locations, and the number of attendees are provided following: • March 21: Issaquah Senior Center. Attendees included three Park Board members and five residents. • March 23: Tibbetts Creek Manor. Attendees: Four Park Board members and five residents. • March 27: Grand Ridge Elementary. Attendees: Two Park Board members and ten residents. • March 29: Issaquah Valley Elementary. Attendees: Two Park Board members and six residents. • April 4: Pickering Barn. Attendees: Two Park Board members and three residents. • April 6: Sunset Elementary. Attendees: Two Park Board members and three residents. Online Input via Peak Democracy An online Peak Democracy survey-style tool was used to collect responses to the seven outreach questions. The tool was available on the City of Issaquah’s website and was open between March 10th and April 28th. A total of 190 responses were received. Input via Social Media The City of Issaquah collected feedback on the Parks System through Facebook comments on timeline posts on their Facebook page. RESULTS Methodology This Public Engagement Part 1 Summary includes key findings from the six public workshops and the online survey- style tool, along with comments received on social media. The full data collected and supporting these findings is provided in the Appendix. Data collected during Phase 1 public engagement activities is primarily qualitative. BERK Consulting conducted inductive theme analysis to summarize ideas and responses. Inductive theme analysis is qualitative analysis that generates key findings about the outreach questions from participant responses to those questions. Because the goal of this Part 1 outreach was to brainstorm ideas and needs, we looked for high-level themes, findings, and insights, which are summarized following. As such, results do not strictly follow the set of questions. When answers provided to a question fit more appropriately with a different outreach question, they were analyzed with that question. This theme analysis was qualitative and does not weight data based on the number of responses received.

  • Legislative Background Brief for the Economic Affairs Interim Committee
    Legislative Background Brief for the Economic Affairs Interim Committee 3/12/14 Review of Other States' Milk Policies and Other Background Information for Discussion of Montana's 12-Day Sell-By Rule Prepared by Pat Murdo, Legislative Staff As a subcommittee of the Economic Affairs Committee considers whether to put into statute a directive regarding sale dates for Grade A milk, there are questions of how other states handle milk sales and what the implications may be for changing the sell-by date now in Montana administrative rules. This review also includes background information on Montana's milk pricing history as well as its sell-by dating rule and related information on various parties' concerns. The states in the Table below are among those listed as having date labeling for processed milk or milk products in a September 2013 Natural Resources Defense Council - Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic Report: "The Dating Game: How Confusing Food Date Labels Lead to Food Waste in America". Some states may have general requirements that include milk, but if milk is not specifically listed, that state is not included here. State Directive California Date labeling is required to inform consumers of the date established by the processor that is most likely to ensure quality, after which the product is normally removed from the shelf. There is no restriction on sales of milk after the listed date. Connecticut Date labeling required regarding a "last sale date", but sales after that date are not restricted for milk. Florida Allows either the date of "manufacture" of the product or the last day the product may be offered for sale.

    UNIVERSITY CONSULTING ALLIANCE Sally Templeton PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT Understanding oneself deeply is essential to being an extraordinary leader. Knowing that one’s experiences, philosophies and values can drive one’s behavior, and understanding how they drive it, awaken a leader to their own strengths, opportunities and potential pitfalls. Knowing yourself as well as one can – taking off blinders, realizing one’s impact and how one is reflected in others’ eyes – allows a leader to realistically assess how to leverage their strengths, and adjust for their weaknesses. With customized, confidential coaching, an individual not only gains this information about oneself, but learns how to use this information in combination with the culture and expectations of their organization and community. Add the learning of proven tools and processes for change, communication and management, and they can transform themselves into an extraordinarily effective leader: a leader who delivers the desired results while increasing trust and respect, developing staff members, and contributing to a stellar team. AREAS OF EXPERTISE/RESULTS Leadership Coaching Team Development Management Skills Behavior Styles Applications Communications Skills Career Coaching Leading Organizational Change EXPERIENCE / SELECTED PROJECTS Provided leadership coaching to executives from the University of Washington, Microsoft, Landis & Gyr, Silver Reef Casino, Wizards of the Coast, and others CONSULTANT PROFILE Developed and delivered mentor training to the NCAA Delivered
