Jeff Knowles, Lead Project Manager, walked the CAB through the project feedback website (https://srcity.org/2711/Bicycle-and-Pedestrian-Master-Plan) and survey. In addition to online feedback opportunities, Alta Planning will be tabling at community events, holding three community open houses, and going to various community meetings on invitation. Public Comment: None. 6.2 CAB STRATEGIC PLAN: INITIAL FINDINGS FROM FOCUS GROUPS AND INTERVIEWS AND NEXT STEPS Staff from CivicMakers presented summary findings from the data collection conducted in the first phase of the CAB's strategic planning process. The findings included feedback from one-on-one stakeholder interviews with City Council Members, the City Manager, CAB Members, and previous CAB grant recipients, as well as two focus groups conducted with two community groups: Santa Rosa Together and the Roseland Community Building Initiative group. After taking questions, CivicMakers led the CAB through a small group exercise. Each small group talked about what was surprising, what was not surprising, and if anything was missing. The groups then reported out to the larger board. Next steps include a 1-2 day workshop where the CAB will develop their mission, vision, and values, along with strategies they will carry forward for the next 3-5 years. CivicMakers will send the final report of the summary findings. City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 3 Community Advisory Board Regular Meeting Minutes - Final March 28, 2018 Public Comment: Duane DeWitt commented on the bureaucracy of CAB meetings and the lack of communication to the public about when CAB meetings will be held and what will be discussed.
