In addition to formal committee and task force meetings, CATS holds public meetings and hearings to solicit public comment on specific projects and proposals.
All CATS meetings are open to the public.
As part of this update, CAT staff performed a survey of past attendees and participants at committee and task force meetings to help identify methods to make all meetings more engaging to the average citizen. CATS will continue to perform surveys and adopt strategies to help ensure member and public satisfaction with the committee strucutre. The CATS contact list is an important tool for notification about public meetings and CATS activities. CATS works with committee members, the media and the public to establish new contacts to add to the list, which currently includes over 7,000 individuals and organizations. The list includes municipal and county elected officials, non-profit and community organizations, chambers of commerce, broadcast and print media, and other groups.
