The Public Engagement Committee (PEC) serves as an advisory body to the Planning Commission regarding citizen involvement outreach strategies for proposed Comprehensive Plan major plan amendments, or upon request by the City Council, to the City regarding other matters of concern. The PEC fulfills the duties described in Statewide Planning Goal 1 for a committee for citizen involvement, meeting on an as-needed basis in order to:
- Design and implement citizen involvement programs, which facilitate public involvement in
major Comprehensive Plan and implementing land use ordinance revisions, and assure that
such actions are based on factual and complete available information. At a minimum, such public involvement programs will provide for adequate notice on citizen involvement activities; advanced information on matters under consideration; and opportunities for citizen participation as determined by the PEC.
- Inform the citizens of the Hillsboro planning area of the opportunity to participate in all phases of planning through the citizen involvement program.
- Encourage and actively solicit citizen participation through a diverse and wide-ranging communication program.
- Develop, through education, a citizenry capable of effective participation in the planning process.
