Dixon Resources Unlimited | Citywide Parking Study for City of Santa Ana 13 Task A. Deliverables • DIXON will assign Julie Dixon as the overall Project Manager. Kellie Dugdale will serve as the primary project support and serve as the single point of contact for overall communications and project coordination with the City. • The Project Team will conduct an in person or virtual project kickoff meeting to prioritize objectives and tasks, finalize the schedule, and request background data from the City. During this phase, the Project Team will achieve a thorough understanding of site context to clarify the City’s near, medium, and long-term planning objectives. DIXON will prepare and distribute an agenda and minutes for the kick-off meeting. • In coordination with City staff, The Project Team will obtain all relevant data to assist with the project including past studies, available data, staff reports, and existing parking management strategies. • The Project Team will conduct bi-weekly project meetings for the duration of the project. During each meeting, DIXON will provide a project overview and status, highlight problems and corrective measures, and present the next steps. Meetings and project status will be memorialized and distributed to City Staff via e-mail. Task B: Stakeholder Input DIXON specializes in stakeholder engagement and communications. Each one of our municipal projects introduces an element of stakeholder engagement. Input from city staff, external stakeholders, advisory groups, and decision makers are a critical part of any municipal program. With each project, we assume a leadership role in coordinating a public involvement strategy to ensure inclusion and transparency with a broad range of stakeholders, including residents, and downtown merchants and businesses, to solicit feedback and improve recommendations. This allows us to bring a local approach to the way we do business and successfully identify operations, management, and technology recommendations. The response to our communication efforts have been extremely positive and municipal administrators have openly and readily received our recommendations as a result of ongoing stakeholder support and investment. We recently completed an extensive stakeholder outreach process for the City of Costa Mesa where their City Council and staff openly expressed and shared their appreciation for our hands on approach and how the community felt included and heard throughout the process. Examples of virtual stakeholder engagement facilitated during COVID-19. City Council 20 – 50 9/6/2022
