(Clanton with Latino Health Access, & Evari support) The Clanton lfiiam will engage city departments, citizens, and stakeholders of the City of Santa Ana in a process that is inclusive and considerate of different perspectives. Through this engagement process, we will identify the City's priorities that will serve as guideposts for the decisions and ultimate success of this streetlighting evaluation with understanding and acceptance from the community as a whole. Successful community engagement is arguably the most critical step toward developing a successful streetlighting system. Strong and diverse opinions often exist that can create divides between differing points of view from safety and security to protection of night skies and human and environmental health concerns. Clanton & Associates is well versed at leading and facilitating the public engagement process with city staff, police, fire department, sustainability managers, traffic engineers, business owners, and concerned citizens, and in providing the education and technical expertise that leads to successful LED street lighting. Giving everyone a voice and providing a documented process for why decisions were made is key to the long-term success of the Streetlighting plan.
