Stakeholder Outreach
David C. explained the stakeholder input phase. Four large 3’ x 4’ color maps of the Plan area
were attached to the walls. Stakeholders were to place colored dots on locations in each map
and with unique letter/number identifier. The letter/number identifiers were to then be annotated
on large Post-Its. The stakeholders participated in this until 12pm.
David C. & Heather S. reviewed all dots and annotations with the stakeholder group to
understand their meaning and significance. See large yellow Post-It and color printed wall
maps.
Comment – David C.: coastal dam is actually a covered potable water reservoir in Dana Point.
The following Issues, Groups, and Data Sources were called out from the group and noted on
the large Post-Its by David and Heather.
