7. Community Outreach
Community participation is a vital goal of this project, and a number of activities
have taken place to promote this.
Public presentations of the original design concepts and program goals were
made to the City/Schools Committee at 3 of their meetings, and to the Partners
for Public Life, in an open public meeting at the Senior Center. The initial ideas
were also presented to the faculty and staff at Anna Yates Elementary School
and Emery Secondary School.
After the final concept and estimate were documented, a series of
neighborhood presentations were made during February and March 2009.
These were advertised on the city’s website, with mailers sent to all residents,
and door hangers at all households.
A copy of the powerpoint presentation that was shown at each of these
meetings is included in chapter 10. This show incorporated a 7 minute video
with introductory comments from school board president Joshua Simon, Mayor
Dick Kassis, ex-superintendent Tony Smith, and Partners for Community Life co=chair
Diane Rush-Woods. Notes from each of these public meetings are
included in chapter 13.
In addition, a website was created – www.centerofemeryville.org – and a copy
of the web pages is provided in chapter 11.
