Natural Hazards Mitigation PlanCity of Glendale, CaliforniaAppendix B – Public Participation Processhazard maps prepared for the Safety Element (the same hazard maps included with thisdocument) were placed around the conference room at the Planning Department (633 E.Broadway), either on easels or pinned to the wall, to allow for easy viewing by the participants.The consultant was present to answer any questions. Unfortunately, approximately only abouteight individuals attended this event. Therefore, the Planning Department took thepresentation “on the road,” addressing various homeowners association and real estate groups,and members of the local Chamber of Commerce. Concurrent with these activities, the SafetyElement Review Committee took on the task of prioritizing the action items (policies andprograms) that the consultant submitted as part of the Draft Safety Element. The City ofGlendale opted to be very proactive – each policy statement is the Safety Element identifies theagency responsible for implementation and the timeline for implementation, similar to therequirements of a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, but not typical of most California SafetyElements of the General Plan. Televised presentations (broadcast on Glendale’s communitytelevision channel – GTV6) were given to the Glendale’s Planning Commission on September 8,2003. Then, on October 7, 2003, Glendale’s updated Safety Element was adopted by CityCouncil, following a televised presentation by personnel of the City’s Planning Department andthe consultant to City Council members.Work on the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan began in 2005, following presentation of a proposalby Earth Consultants International, Inc. to the City in 2004. The consultant and the HazardMitigation Advisory Committee started preparation of the Plan by holding a kick-off meetingon May 2, 2005. The following paragraphs summarize the results of this meeting, andsubsequent meetings held between the consultant and the Advisory Committee.Meeting #1: May 2, 2005, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.The purpose of this kick-off meeting was to set in motion the process to create the Local HazardMitigation Plan for the City of Glendale, as required by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.The attendees are listed in Table B.2, below. The consultant presented a PowerPointpresentation that described the requirements of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief andEmergency Assistance Act, and the work already accomplished with preparation of the 2003Safety Element. The function of the City in regards to the Plan and public input and processwas discussed. Members of the committee were interviewed, via a written questionnaire,regarding information on existing hazard mitigation efforts within their own divisions andorganizations, and ideas on how to best conduct the public outreach requirements of thisproject. The information obtained from these individuals was reviewed and compiled as part ofthis effort, and is included herein as an attachment to this appendix. Ways to gather publicinput, an important part of the process, were suggested, such as the use of the City’s cabletelevision channel, City’s website, and flyers for distribution to citizen groups.2006 PAGE B - 3
