OVERVIEW The objective of the Marian Cheek Jackson Center Qackson Center) is to continue to work in partnership with Rogers Eubanks Neighborhood Association (RENA) for two primary purposes: 1) To continue. to assist OWASA and the concerned municipalities with outreach about sewer implementation, including communication and engagement about sewer easements and next steps of the project, securing and advancing neighborhood feedback and guidance in the municipal planning processes. 2) To help facilitate a community-first planning effort, specifically aimed at assisting neighbors in developing a set of guiding principles for planning decisions and engaging neighbors in proactive long-term planning as sewer implementation begins. 2. SCOPE OF SERVICES Concentration 1: Sewer implementation outreach As sewer design begins,there are a number of ways in which outreach, community engagement,and ongoing communication will be essential both for the success of the project and its ability to continue movement forward expeditiously. We can assist neighborhood leaders and OWASA engineers with community outreach and communication as they approach the design phase of the sewer project. We can serve as a conduit for communication and help ensure that neighbors are engaged at each stage of the design and have accurate and clear information. This will also include continued stakeholder engagement and additional capacity support for ongoing neighborhood communication strategies that were developed over the first period of our contract. The scope of work will include the following: • Organize an initial public meeting with the support of the three municipal partners and OWASA to share information about the design process • Attend weekly meetings with municipal planners, neighborhood leadership and OWASA to discuss timeline and priorities for the month DocuSign Envelope ID:09FB8A3C-9304-40E2-8033-A5FF7CBA6067 • Serve as communication conduit,ensuring appropriate information about sewer implementation is shared with all neighbors in the Historic Rogers Road neighborhood and municipal partners through multiple communication forums established during first period of contract, including but not limited to door-to-door conversations, community newspapers, and small group gatherings. • Follow up with individual households once OWASA releases the initial "30%" plan that requires specific feedback on the design and easement feedback. This will likely include an additional public review meeting to ensure broader stakeholders have a chance to review the initial design. • Synthesize feedback from outreach efforts to help ensure the most appropriate adjustments and options are chosen given both neighborhood feedback and realities and engineering proposals and realities • Once the "60%" plan is released by OWASA, we will assist the partners (neighbors, OWASA,Orange County) on sewer easement communication/acquisition,helping expedite the process as much as possible by connecting OWASA/Orange County more effectively with neighbors and ensuring the big picture work is shared with all parties. This will include working closely with neighborhood leadership and Orange County staff to set up a second round of communication with all landowners/residents directly impacted by the sewer project. • Provide feedback on the sewer implementation process at relevant municipal meetings given outreach efforts to help movement forward in a full and expedited manner (as much as possible given realities and challenges of engineering work) Concentration 2: Community-First Planning' The Jackson Center's experience is primarily in community planning and strategy work. Each municipal partner has expressed different concerns about the pressures of development and the need for community guidance as development proposals arrive and planning decisions begin to be made. Chapel Hill Council Members expressed this concern when the council voted to expand the ETJ and development proposals began arriving for large tracts of land on the 1 We have utilized a model of community-first planning in our work in Northside.This model is built on an intensive set of communication and organizing tools that bring neighbors and other stakeholders into active and honest planning discussions with the tensions and possibilities of change.Our model engages the strengths and struggles of history first and continually.Creative communication strategies are a central part of our work:we find ways to reach people the ways they best receive contact.We develop clear"gives and gets"strategy framework.We believe that discussing the benefits and challenges openly is the best way for communities to mobilize for movement forward DocuSign Envelope ID:09FB8A3C-9304-40E2-8033-A5FF7CBA6067 periphery of the neighborhood. Orange County Commissioners,in ceding its joint planning decision power,expressed concern about community influence in planning decisions,wanting to ensure that neighbors had some power in future decisions. Carrboro Alderman have more clear guidance in their zoning area but have also wanted to ensure that equity work truly benefits the historic residents and does not lead to gentrification and displacement. As sewer design moves forward,we can design and implement a community-first planning process that engages the Historic Rogers Road neighborhood broadly and specifically. Much historic work has been done (including our partnership outreach work last year), and our model builds on the power of the historic work. This process will result in three clear deliverables: a set of guiding principles/priorities developed by the community (that can be helpful for future planning decisions), a map (or set of maps) of general recommendations for place-specific hopes, and a set of neighborhood strategies that can be implemented by ongoing resident leadership to help pursue community aspirations. These strategies will include tools and resources that allow for neighbors to give guidance for future neighborhood development and to help combat gentrification. We believe that prior work requires preparation and execution of a thoughtfully focused series of conversations that will simultaneously contribute to community development and sewer implementation. The scope of work will include the following: • Meet with community leadership and each municipal partner to engage previous plans (small area, zoning designations,task force recommendations) and the principles/aspirations behind them. • Work with RENA leaders, additional community leaders, and a team of consultants (sub-contractors) to establish an initial draft of guiding principles/priorities given historic efforts, plans, and recent surveys and engagement. • Develop, organize, and help convene a key stakeholder group,made up primarily of residents from different parts of the Rogers Road neighborhood,to include the various subsections of the neighborhood between Homestead and Eubanks. • Convene and facilitate at least three (likely 4) meetings with this stakeholder group to set guiding principles/priorities given three months of input,to design a community-based map that gives general municipal direction on community hopes, and to create a set of strategies for neighbors to implement as sewer implementation begins. • Host a final larger community forum for input on the draft of the plan and its implementation.

DocuSign Envelope ID:09FB8A3C-9304-40E2-8033-A5FF7CBA6067 These concentrations can be separated based on timeline and role. Both numbers below assume a 6-month contract period of work. The exact amount will depend on final scope and amount of time required. Areal: Seiner Implementation Outreach $42,100 Area 2: Communihj First Planning $47,800 *The total compensation includes all staff costs, sub-contracts (RENA, mapping, database, technical and design, etc) and program support that will enable this initiative to be successful. Payment: 25% of overall contract invoiced upon signing ($22,475). Billing for the remainder will be every two months from beginning of the contract, with 25% of each concentration billed at the two and four month marks, and the final 25% at the conclusion of the 6-month contract.
