The Draft version <strong>of</strong> the Plan was posted onthe City’s website to allow for, and provide ongoing citizen/stakeholder information andparticipation. A link to post comments and questions regarding the Draft document wasprovided on the City’s website. Finally, and most importantly, the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong> held 13meetings as part <strong>of</strong> its Long Range Planning process (see Table B.5). These meetings, althoughnot originally designed to address the Local <strong>Hazard</strong> <strong>Mitigation</strong> Plan, were used as aspringboard to present specific aspects <strong>of</strong> the Plan to the public, and to receive public input.The meetings were announced through several media, including local newspapers, the City’swebsite, and flyers. The flyers were printed in English, Armenian and Spanish; translationservices were provided at the meetings to involve all attending the event.
