2026-2030 Action Agenda (Draft for Public Comment)
Robb10/31/2512/12/25truetruetrue11/10: meeting with Robb takeaways -- by Dec 12, format text boxes, respond to "for comms" comment boxes, Ian assigned some plain talk checks, requests for 6 graphics in draft (some already exist, some are new)Chase Nuuhiwa, Ian McCabe, Katie LoveActivePlanning Team will be done with our text edits to the Action Agenda on Monday, November 10th. At that point, we’ll be asking for Comms to help with a few finishing touches before the document goes out for public review and comment.

Some of the requests we have in mind include:
• Formatting text boxes. We plan to have a few text boxes throughout the document. Currently the text we want in those boxes isn’t formatted properly.
• Plain talk. Ian did a great job with his initial plain talk review of the Topic descriptions. A lot of other edits have happened since then, so having another review would be nice if there’s capacity to do so.
• Graphics. We don’t’ want this to be a fully polished document (it’s mostly text), but there are a handful of graphics that we could create for the public review version. Again, this is capacity dependent. Here’s the folder where graphic work has already been captured: (61) Graphics | Powered by Box
• Press release/notification about Action Agenda update. TBD how widely we want to announce the public comment period, but wanted to put this on your radar.
word draft -https://pspwa.box.com/s/qivs5nmds24t3wb1jlh4hg97iazd3wrfThe Action Agenda goes live for public comment on January 5th. With Holidays and to give time for staff to prep the document for public review (and to give us some wiggle room just in case), we picked the 12th.Planning2025-386jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov

Oil Spills Target Communication
Laura Vary11/07/2512/22/2511/19 follow up via email with team on suggested alternative language 11/12 Follow up email sent to Laura asking about who needs to be in a meeting.Jonathan BridgmanActiveThe Progress Indicator team is setting a target for the Oil Spills Progress Indicator: by 2030, achieve zero major oil spills and decrease the gallons of oil spilled via smaller spills across Puget Sound to below the 2018-2020 average of 38,107 gallons per year, which would show us making progress on Washington's long-term goal of zero spills (draft language). We feel that this target may raise concerns with partners that PSP is "accepting" some amount of oil spilled, when any oil spilled has impacts to the health of Puget Sound. We thus want to work with Comms to explore different ways of phrasing and communicating this target to assuage concerns and effectively describe the goals of this target and regional oil spill management work: to prevent large scale oil spills (>10,000 gals) and reduce small-scale, chronic or accidental oil spills (i.e., vehicle fuel leaks, etc.) in the short-term. Reductions would demonstrate progress towards our region's ultimate goal of zero spills.We have Larry and Kirsten's approval to include this target in the 2026-2030 Action Agenda public comment draft which goes out in early January. We thus need to finalize target language by late December.ASAP2025-397jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov

Updates to Progress Indicator logo and Indicator Relationship Graphic
Laura Vary11/13/2512/31/2511/19 Jon will check in with Kirsten about waiting to start until we have our meetingJonathan BridgmanWaiting on ClientI would like to request a change to the Progress Indicator logo and related updates to the Indicator Relationship Graphic (developed over the summer and first used in State of the Sound 2025). The requested changes are described and visualized in detail in the associated slide deck (supporting document) and have been vetted and approved by Kenna, Megan, Lila, Alex, and Kirsten. These changes are necessary to facilitate ongoing use of the Progress Indicator logo and the indicator relationship graphic; the changes will make these products accurate and correctly aligned with the Progress Indicator and Vital Signs programs. These products are used heavily by both the Progress Indicator and Vital Signs programs and will be used to update the Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet (separate request for that update forthcoming).The Progress Indicator and Vital Signs programs are working to develop an updated version of the Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet and Puget Sound Indicators presentation for PSP staff. We would like to present to staff on Puget Sound Indicators in February and thus request these products to be updated by end of year 2025 or very early 2026 for our use.2025-402jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov

Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet
Laura Vary11/13/2512/31/25Waiting on ClientThe Progress Indicator, Salmon Habitat Indicator, and Vital Signs programs are working together to update the Puget Sound Indicators fact sheet (https://pspwa.app.box.com/file/906302518755?s=o23f9meiyo2qeyn8777r8ownzj79k0zc). Our programs need an authoritative fact sheet to ensure consistency in communication, alignment across programs, and PSP staff/partner engagement. This fact sheet is frequently referenced when introducing our indicator system and describing specifics around the indicators but it has significantly out-of-date language.

We have not yet finished our revised version, but we would like the fact sheet updated by the end of 2025. I wanted to submit the communications request anyhow to be mindful of your capacity and support planning of tackling requests in late 2025. We will get a revised version of the fact sheet to you in early December.
The Progress Indicator and Vital Signs programs would like an updated version of the fact sheet to support communication around the indicators to partners and PSP staff. We would like to present to staff on Puget Sound Indicators in February and thus request these products to be updated by end of year 2025 for our use.2025-403jon.bridgman@psp.wa.gov

Power BI does not embed well because it does not reflow/it is not responsive. I'd love to move us away from Power BI for that reason among other accessibility issues but that will take time.

The Power BI canvas is a 16:9 ratio that will add or remove the scroll bars depending on the embed size.
Don's materials are a bit of a pickle because he uses the same tools for embeds and for his presentations and embeds on the Legislative newsletter, both of which are wide screen by design.

Can Ian and I meet to explore limitations and options? thank you!!
