Influence. approach during the days immediately before any public meetings to encourage our followers to Tweet the importance of public participation in the environmental review process. There are also established groups on Facebook with advocates of public transportation. Consensus Inc. will find and join these groups and encourage the existing members to become fans of the Santa x Ana Fixed Guideway/SARTC Master Plan Projects. Task 3: Stakeholder Working Group In January 2010, Consensus Inc. worked with the City of Santa Ana to develop a Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) for the Fixed Guideway Project. Consensus Inc. recommends that additional efforts be undertaken to increase the level of participation and diversity of participants in the SWG, such as mailing the SWG invitation letter and placing follow-up calls to those invitees who previously did not respond to the first SWG invitation. Consensus Inc. will coordinate three additional SWG meetings scheduled to correlate with key project milestones, and will work with the City to create and edit materials that will be presented to the SWG, including PowerPoint presentations. Consensus Inc. recommends the following meeting schedule for the remainder of 2010 and 2011: ¦ Post-scoping to communicate the alternatives that will be further studied in the Draft EIR/EIS ¦ At the release of the Draft environmental document to communicate the EIR/EIS key findings ¦ At the release of the Final EIR/EIS to resolve any key issues of concern or communicate refinements made to the document based on public comments that are submitted Consensus Inc. will also develop and distribute agendas, prepare presentation materials, facilitate the SWGs (as requested), document session proceedings, and provide that documentation to the City so it can be posted on the project Website and sent to participants and others who request it.
