Discussion Items
3. Review
Discussion of Public Outreach Program Priorities from March 31, 2011 Board Goal
Setting Session
The committee requested that staff develop estimates of the cost to hire a full-time staff person and also the cost for a consultant to conduct the District’s public outreach program. These options should be outlined in the draft Fiscal Year 2011-2012 MPWMD Budget. The committee expressed a preference for hiring a consultant to conduct public outreach, but requested that this item could be scheduled for discussion at either the May 16, 2011 Board meeting, or the May 26, 2011 workshop on the draft budget.
4. Update
on Investigation into Contracting for Website Improvements
The committee requested that no further action be taken on selection of a consultant to update the website. Instead, the committee preferred to defer this until a public outreach professional was retained to provide input on the website design.
Other Items
Staff was directed to stop all work on development of a postcard for mailing throughout the District.
Schedule Next Committee Meeting Date
