URS assisted the City in recording comments received at the scoping meeting, and also prepared a City -addressed comment card for the public to provide written comments. URS prepared a tabular summary of the comments received at the meeting, which was addressed in the Draft MR, as necessary. It was anticipated that the City. would provide all exhibit figures for display, and secure the venue for the meeting. The public scoping meeting was "open house" style, with stations set up for questions and comments from the public. URS provided one Environmental Staff for the meeting.
