8. EXTENSION TO CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH JPW COMMUNICATIONS FOR TUSTIN LEGACY OUTREACH AND COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES Proposed extension to the Consultant Services Agreement with JPW Communications for continued outreach and communications support for the Tustin Legacy project. The continuation builds upon the successful outreach and communications campaigns JPW has conducted throughout 2024–2025. The next phase of outreach activities continues to reflect a deliberate and structured approach to sustaining meaningful public engagement as the City advances the Tustin Legacy project. Building on JPW’s demonstrated success in increasing awareness, participation, and transparency, the planned series of outreach activities is intended to invite the community through a thoughtful progression of opportunities to learn, respond, and provide meaningful input. The activities move from initial informationgathering to more interactive formats, ultimately supporting informed direction from the City Council. Together, these steps enable residents, stakeholders, and regional partners to remain closely connected to the project’s development and that their feedback continues to shape its longterm vision.
