The working group ran through the survey questions
The goal is to have two surveys, one before the workshop to gather information and one after
to see how people's views have changed and what they learned/prefer
HMS asked what the goal of the survey is really trying to accomplish
o LF responded with what the design team is hoping for is to really make sure we
understand the people who are in the room, what you know, the big picture that that
you know, cause it's a wordle right? So, the goal was to say we want to see it as a
world, and make sure that we cover the items that people are there to listen to. Right?
So, we have a set agenda. We have a concept of how this is going to work. We've
done this before. But we want to make sure that if people are in the room, and they
have something specific that wasn't on our radar, that we find a way to make sure we
address it, and if not, address it during the meeting be able to say, you know, we see a
lot of people who would like this. We will make sure that that is brought back through
the building committee.
JH noted how providing the big picture would be useful as is called out in the facilitator
notes
The test survey questions were read aloud for members of the public
A Thought Exchange representative gave an overview of how to view the results from the
survey
LF gave an overview of how the Design Workshop will function and what the process will
look like.
It was noted that SSBC members would be present to help people who cannot use the
technology
HSM Called for a demographic question be added to the survey's
...................................................................

Office

JH noted that a plan for communications over summer break will be required as it is not truly
a break for everyone.
o The FAQs could be a great place to enhance engagement and provide information
over the summer
o JH2 noted that given the scale of this project and the cost associated communication
and ongoing meetings with the whole project team must continue
It was noted that Lex Media will be filming the Design Workshop
KS noted that the summer months should be used to create informational cliff
notes/videos/other media forms to show where the project is now and how we got here along
with deep dives into certain topics.
o JP agreed and suggested a monthly report similar to Dore& Whittier but catered to
the public
