Environmental Consulting Services (200 East First American Way) J City of Santa Ana We also worked closely with the City's Planning Division to deliver two CEQA training sessions, following the departure of their Environmental Coordinator. The training, led by Chad, focused on educating the staff on how to conduct environmental reviews under CEQA. Chad even worked at least one day a week at City Hall to provide follow-up hands- on training and CEQA advisory services as an extension of staff for a six-month period. Chad worked with City planners and staff in other City Departments during his time on-site at City Hall to review environmental documents prepared by City planning staff, provide advice related to CEQA/NEPA, and answer general questions regarding the environmental review process relative to the City entitlement process. He continues to offer general advice over the phone and occasional document review on an as-needed basis.
