Hi Thomas, As Lydia promised, I’m writing to share a summary of the engagement work we’ve conducted related to the Environmental Service Center. Below and attached is some information related to our most recent engagement work. We’ve conducted two rounds of engagement since last fall, and we plan to do one more round this summer. Fall 2022 engagement – Community feedback on proposed site location. Held four community listening sessions (two in person, two virtual) and offered an online survey. All residents within a mile radius of the proposed site were mailed an invite. 73 people attended the listening sessions, and 25 people responded to the survey. The summary of this engagement work is attached (Fall 22 Engagement Summary). Spring 2023 engagement – Community feedback on proposed site and building plan. Held four community listening sessions (two in person, two virtual) and offered an online survey. 32 people attended the listening sessions, and 189 people responded to the survey. We don’t yet have the final summary of this engagement work, but I’m attaching a rough summary (Spring 23 Engagement Summary Draft), as well as the PowerPoint that we shared at the listening sessions (Environmental Service Center PowerPoint). When we have the final summary document complete, I’ll share that. Summer 2023 engagement – We intend to conduct another round of community engagement this summer, when we’ll be sharing proposed building designs with the public for feedback. We’d be happy to incorporate any questions that you’d like us to bring to those conversations –please let us know if you have thoughts on that. We also conducted additional engagement in 2020 and 2021 that helped define the vision for this facility. This engagement work was broader in nature and addressed the county’s waste system more generally. Would that information be helpful to see as well? If so, I’ll send info on that. Let me know if it would be helpful to have a conversation about any of this work. Thank you! Andrea
