for both residents and staff, and the ability to post the recording online for viewing at any time. <br />After discussing with consultants, staff propose organizing a webinar focused on sustainability <br />and clean energy that will include a presentation on the advances made over the past two years <br />and time for questions and answers. This webinar could also include a review of how residents <br />can learn more about the project and a request for topic suggestions for future info sessions. <br />The webinar would be advertised on the project website and through the newsletter, and the <br />recording would also be posted on the website. If the webinar is successful, then the JDA may <br />consider repeating this format on other topics. <br /> <br />Director Mitchell explained staff has noted comments on the materials available on the project <br />website and are working to strategize, within technical constraints, on how to ensure as much <br />information is readily accessible as possible. Residents are encouraged to use the comment box <br />on RiceCreekCommons.com or reach out to JDA members or staff to request information or <br />documents. <br /> <br />Chair Wicklund stated doing an electronic webinar would save time and could assist with <br />focusing the topic for the event. He questioned what success would look like for this type of <br />event. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGuire explained she loved the idea of an informational webinar. She <br />suggested the JDA consider hosting at least two webinar events. <br /> <br />Commissioner Weber commented he was interested in documents being readily available on <br />the Rice Creek Commons website. He hoped that people would attend the webinar events and <br />come forward with questions. He believed success would be people asking questions and <br />providing new topics. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jebens-Singh stated a webinar like this would allow for multiple audiences to <br />engage with this topic in a transparent manner over time. She asked how these events would <br />overlap with the RFI. Director Mitchell indicated she would be open to feedback from the JDA <br />on this, noting the event could be geared towards the public, or RFI responders were also <br />welcome to join. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monson explained she liked the idea of surveying people about future topics. <br />She anticipated these events would be successful. She recommended the webinar event be <br />well marketed and suggested the event be open to the public. <br /> <br />Chair Wicklund asked how urgent it was to get this project completed. He questioned if staff <br />could begin working out details and the JDA could finalize the plans for the webinar in October. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGuire wanted to see the website updated as quickly as possible and noted <br />she could wait for the webinar to be finalized in October. <br />
