. Develop database format. . -Assemble comprehensive stakeholder database, as illustrated in Figure 9.2. Phase 3: Community-based research and visioning (through December 2002) This phase will give priority to very localized planning within the Centerline cities, The research effort will provide quantitative reliable information to the technical team about specific issues in Centerline's design, especially those that were controversial during conceptual engineering, A second but important priority will be to continue communications with the non-Centerline city government leaders, Staqe 1: Stakeholders and impacted residents in The Centerline cities will be asked (via direct mail, one-on-one interviews, polls, neighborhood canvassing, neighborhood meetings, etc) to describe the future they would like to see for their community, and will be asked for conceptual input about rail in the LPA area. Ideally this would be initiated by tours of other systems, field tours of the LPA neighborhood, briefings on what is planned for the area (including models and simulations), etc, , , The majority of this work within The Centerline cities will initially focus on those parts of the LPA that city leaders have identified as being the most controversial or having the greatest number of outstanding issues. In general the strategy will be to place priority on addressing directly the most vociferous concerns early so that if technical solutions are possible, they can be fully explored early in the process, This input will then be relayed to the technical team to refine the route, elevation and technology, Staqe 2: This stage will begin after the technical team produces the reports recommending route, elevation and technology. These products-defined as the technical team's best effort to balance community concerns with engineering and fiscal priorities--will then be circulated to high priority stakeholders, city leaders, technical and policy committee members. During this phase of public review, possible and recommended mitigations for impacts will be clearly and simply delineated and will be the topic of public discussion locally and with key OCT A policy makers, After this round of review, staff will generate final recommendations on route, elevation, technology and some level of preliminary commitments to mitigations. Specific tasks will include but not be limited to: . Project team staff members will augment or refine the Collaborative Stakeholders Inventory produced in Phase 2 Opinion Polls (with a focus on adjacent neighborhoods) Community Leader Interviews Neighborhood-based visioning discussions Coordination with existing community/city liaison activities (I.e, CDBG groups, neighborhood councils, homeowner associations) Community presentations City Council contacts (as defined in conjunction with the city staff) Ongoing Local Government Involvement: Implement plan and protocol to communicate with non-Centerline cities, . . . . . . . Phase 4: Project implementation (January 2003 through September 2003) Irvine, Santa Ana and Costa Mesa City Councils will be asked to reaffirm their support for the route, elevation, and light rail vehicle type between December 2002 and January 2003, The
