<br />Community Engagement
<br />The first engagement opportunity was a community budget meeting on March 25, 2021,
<br />whereby community members were able to give input on the proposed spending plan.
<br />Additionally, the City launched a community feedback survey, available in English,
<br />Spanish, and Vietnamese, to gauge the community’s thoughts on how the City should
<br />spend its Revive Santa Ana funding. The survey was available online and was distributed
<br />on the City’s digital communications channels. Additionally, print surveys were available
<br />and shared at the City’s main library and at City Hall. In total, 1,579 responses were
<br />collected. The findings of the survey were shared with the City Council.
<br />Separately, the City Council discussed Revive Santa Ana at several public meetings,
<br />including on March 16, May 18, May 24, June 1, and June 3, 2021. Several iterations of
<br />the Revive Santa Ana Spending Plan have been shared and discussed, whose changes
<br />reflect discussions by the City Council, comments from community members, and
<br />changing guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury relating to how the funds
<br />could be expended.
