4.4.2. Grassroots Engagement Toolkit and Training The MIG Team will develop a graphic identity and a toolkit for CBOs to use for their grassroots engagement activities. The toolkit will include collateral needed for the grassroots engagement such as, but not limited to, promotional flyers, a project fact sheet, social media strategy, activity guides, posters, and an informational presentation. Printing materials for the toolkit will be the responsibility of the City and/or CBO partners and funded through the SCAG grant. We will work with City staff and the CBO partners to coordinate a Zoning Code Update grassroots engagement training intended to equip CBOs and neighborhood organizations with the project awareness and tools needed to cohesively and effectively reach and involve their networks. The MIG Team will host the training in partnership with City staff. The City's Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services staff will play an important role given their relationship with the CBO partners and neighborhood organizations. The MIG Team will prepare and deliver a presentation about the Zoning Code Update, distribute the toolkit, conduct training, and facilitate role-playing exercises to prepare participants for their work in the field. 4.4.3. Manage Financial Relationships with CBOs We value the lived experience and input of our community partners, which is why we have championed community compensation strategies. CBOs, neighborhood organizations, and community members provide essential information to projects through their relational wealth and lived experience. Compensation is the best way to access this expertise; compensation not only honors that wealth and experience, but also allows individuals to avoid tradeoffs that might otherwise lead to them not participating. During our initial bi-weekly check -ins and strategy sessions, our team will learn more about Santa Ana's procurement requirements and work to build a system to financially compensate participating CBO, neighborhood organizations, and, potentially, community members. The MIG Team will also consult SCAG during a regular bi-weekly check -in to ensure compensation processes and procedures comply with grant funding requirements. We will have a dedicated team member from Kearns & West working to manage subcontracts and payments. Our team has staff accountants who will aid us in ensuring the process is user-friendly and that payments are made in a timely manner. The process development will be reviewed by City and SCAG staff; we will also ensure all payments are approved by the City and SCAG. Subtask 4.5: Community Workshop Series Our team will facilitate a series of Community Meetings with each of the five (5) Focus Area Corridor Plans: three (3) meetings in each focus area for a total of fifteen (15) meetings. Our team envisions the first focus area meeting to be structured as a Listening Workshop and the second and third meetings as hands-on Place -based Workshops. The Listening Workshops will serve to introduce the project to the community and will allow for City residents, local businesses, and stakeholders to learn about the project, and our team to hear from the community about how they understand the project area and goals. The Place- based Workshops will be used to gather feedback on specific elements of the Focus Area Corridor Plans. The workshops may include a presentation, a large group format, and small group MIG, Inc. i 0
