<br />March 12, 2018, Work Session – Item B <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />A Community Advisory Committee is an essential part of a community-based neighborhood <br />planning process. Ideally, the composition of the committee should employ the following <br />principles. <br /> Be prepared and able to act in a deliberative, considerate, and civil manner. <br /> Respect diverse community demographics and varied interests. <br /> Weigh the perspectives and input of the whole community—for example, renters, <br />property-owners, homeowners, owners of large and small businesses, and members of <br />under-represented populations like Latinos or people of color, youth, or people with low <br />incomes—that have been offered during public engagement activities. In addition to the members nominated by the community organizations, project staff invites ex officio members to represent the special districts. These include the River Road Parks & Recreation District, River Road Water Board, Santa Clara Water Board, Santa Clara Fire District, Lane Rural Fire District, and the Eugene Water and Electric Board. <br />Nomination Process The River Road and Santa Clara Community Organization boards recruited volunteers throughout the fall of 2017, including a request at the major community event in October.
