The LUFT Public meetings were held in October and November 2008 in Sacramento, Los Angeles, Oakland, and Orange County.  The LUFT Manual Planning team appreciates the time and input of all those who attended one or more of the meetings.

The input from the meetings has been consolidated into the following files which are linked at the end of this page:  the raw input for the Table of Contents from each meeting; the input compiled into one draft Table of Contents; and the Ideas for Streamlining the LUFT Cleanup Process.

a. LUFT Public Meeting goals were:

• To gather input regarding the technical/physical content and the process for updating the California LUFT Manual.
• To gather additional information that could be used for streamlining corrective action processes for LUFT sites within the state of California.

b. LUFT Meeting Process
To make your time worthwhile and produce the best manual possible, these meetings were being designed by a planning team of LUFT stakeholders guided by consultants who are experts in designing and facilitating meetings that provide for maximum participation and collaboration. We intended to go beyond the standard public meeting, providing a meeting framework that allowed all parties to explore together collaboratively what is needed in a new LUFT manual in a way that is effective, satisfying and, hopefully, enjoyable.
 

c. LUFT Public Meeting agenda
The agenda included a variety of small group exercises, Open Space sessions managed by the participants on topics of their choice, and large group meetings.  At the end of the day the group arranged ideas for the LUFT Manual table of contents into groups for use as sections in the revised manual.

d. Specific information for public meetings
The meetings were open to all interested parties but the rooms had a limited capacity. Therefore, it was requested that participants register for the specific meeting they wished to attend.  Registration and attendance were confirmed based on availability.

The Public Meetings Fact Sheet summarizes the attendance and results of the four public meetings.
