Envision Littleton Study Session
Body
Presented By:
Jocelyn Mills, Community Development Director and Kathleen Osher, Special Project Manager
REQUESTED COMMISSION ACTION:
Staff is requesting commission input and feedback on the Envision Littleton draft vision and guiding principles. The next step is to release the draft for community review for three weeks.

The survey results combined with insights from other engagement methods provide a solid foundation for this draft vision and guiding principles. The draft was shaped with more than 3,000 conversations at 100+ events. This continues to be a community-wide effort first with 12 weeks promoting our online survey (we received 869 valid survey responses); and now with a release of the draft for community review through November 2, 2018.

NEXT STEPS:
After the study session, the draft vision and guiding principles will be posted on EnvisionLittleton.org and staff will continue promoting open house events at existing community gatherings and when requested by members of the community over the next three weeks. The most up-to-date calendar will always be found at EnvisionLittleton.org.
