VILLAGE H PUBLIC OUTREACH PDATE

Carlsbad
Memo #2019076
City staff has begun the public involvement process for Village H, based on the direction given
by the City Council at its April 23, 2019, meeting. More than 100 community members attended
a public workshop at the Calavera Hills Community Center Saturday, June 19, from 10 a.m. to
noon.
The workshop format was highly interactive, with project team members sitting at round tables
and facilitating discussions among residents about their ideas for the property. Staff provided
information about the city's Habitat Management Plan and other background to assist with
developing workable options for the City Council's consideration this fall.
------Community members were very complimentary of the city's efforts to gather this input. A post-
meeting survey completed by 58 participants provided positive feedback as well. On an
agreement scale of one (strongly disagree) to five (strongly agree), following are the average
responses for the survey questions:

also recorded a time lapse video of the meeting to show other community members what a
community meeting is like, encouraging them to participate in future meetings and workshops.
An on line survey will be available later this week for community members who were unable to
attend the community workshop, or who prefer to provide input this way. City staff will then
