Thank you to everyone that participated in focus groups over the last two weeks of April! Staff from City Departments, County Departments, agencies, and other institutions were present and answered questions about the services and resources the community has been asking for so far in this process, and we discussed ideas for policies, regulations and projects.
Each focus group saved input on a Miro Board, each of which is linked to below. Relevant staff is also listed on each board. We suggest using a browser other than Internet Explorer to view and comment on the boards.
