Consider approval of Resolution 2022-20R, approving a Professional Services Agreement with Halff and Associates, Inc. to provide consulting services for the development of the San Marcos Natural Area Land Management Plan in the estimated amount of $99,760.00; authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement on behalf of the City; and declaring an effective date.

On the Stakeholder list, #4, is "Abutting neighborhoods." How will the people in those neighborhoods be contacted about the stakeholder meetings?
On page 1 of the agreement, under #5, is "In an effort to simplify the communication process, relevant stakeholder groups are to designate one (1) representative who will coordinate all written/oral communication to the CITY."
Curious as to how that will be done for the neighborhoods.

Response to Mayor Hughson provided by Jamie Lee Case, Assistant Director of Parks & Recreation:

The methods for communicating with abutting neighborhoods regarding open houses and focus groups will be in the same way neighborhoods are notified currently of open houses and community engagement opportunities - these include, but are not limited to mailers, door hangers, communications through CONA representatives and Neighborhood Commission Representatives.

The reference above is intended specifically for work with members of large groups like the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance or San Marcos River Foundation where membership will be asked to select a spokesperson to participate in meetings with staff and the consultant. We would look to CONA or the Neighborhood Commission representative again for a single member representative since they are already in that role to represent a specific neighborhood. Public Open House opportunities will be available as well to ensure all that want to provide comments or feedback have the opportunity.
