The Public Involvement Process How Do We Grow? Charrette Part 2 "How Do We Grow? Charrette Part 2" was also a three-day event conducted between June 20 and June 23, 2006. It started with a public meeting conducted on June 20 designed to refine the preferred scenario. It also included an Open House to present the results of the Public Meeting activities. Three-dimensional illustrations of possible development patterns were presented and rated during the Open House. At the end of the charrette, a second public meeting was held to present the results and gain final feedback from the public. (See Appendix F, Building Block Preference Survey Results.) The second charrette provided closure to the set of linked meetings that began with the Mapping the Future workshop. Phase 4: The Working Groups The Kona citizens' Working Groups were created to • Expand on the CDP public involvement process; • Maintain transparency and sustain community involvement in the Plan's development; and • Create a mechanism that allows for citizen input in the more technical phase of the Plan while the chapters of the Plan are being drafted. The Working Group process was structured to last five to six months. A facilitator was assigned to each group to help guide the process. There was, at a minimum, one member from the CDP Steering Committee in each group to function as a liaison and keep the Steering Committee up to date on the Working Group process. A total of 12 Working Groups were created to address the following topics: LIST OF WORKING GROUPS BY TOPIC 7 Topic Description 1 Social Issues Public safety, health care, education, etc. 2 Government Governmental structure, accountability, 10 Public Utilities leadership, fiscal management, and community 11 Economy, Energy participation 3 Land Use Land conservation, open space, development 12 Flooding & Natural patterns, connectivity, agricultural lands, land use Hazards planning practices 4 Transportation Vehicular transportation and the road network; public transportation (bus, light rail, etc.); alternative transportation (biking, walking, etc.) 5 Housing Housing availability, affordability, locations 6 Natural Resources Environmental and natural resources, wildlife, waste reduction 7 Cultural Resources Diversity, history, culture, Kona character 8 Recreation Parks and recreational opportunities 9 Public Facilities Diverse facility needs 10 Public Utilities Infrastructure systems 11 Economy, Energy Local industries, business development, economic sustainability, alternative and renewable energy 12 Flooding & Natural Watershed management, flood control, hazard Hazards DreDaredness. etc. Kona Community Development Plan 2.8
