I only heard about 1 public hearing last week on the original proposal. Having a calendar on your public site is not enough outreach. You're only ever going to get the same response pool. Everything about Olympia's long-term objectives and implementation feels so disjointed, out of touch, and imposing. Public outreach? Send out mailers like jury duty to let people know what's coming up and the agenda as early as possible. Fly a banner over 4th, State, Harrison/Division. Do radio spots on local stations. Set up booths at frequented local grocery stores, or even just have a newsletter stand with upcoming agenda items and an explanation of how to testify in store. If we're flush enough for the Council to continuously give sweetheart tax deals to developers, then we have enough for proper targeted public outreach for comment on directly impactful agenda items.
