Attachment B - E The Centerline Project Action Plan . City Council contacts (as defined in conjunction with the city staff) . Ongoing Local Government Involvement: Implement plan and communicate with non-Centerline cities. protocol to 2.4 Phase 4: Project implementation (January 2003 through September 2003): Irvine. Santa Ana and Costa Mesa City Councils will be asked to reaffirm their support for the route. elevation, technology and vehicles between Decernber 2002 and January 2003. The aCTA Board of Directors will take a similar action shortly thereafter. Once there is policy agreement on the major aspects of the syst'em design, the public involvement work will turn to refining various aspects to answer specifically "how. this system will be integrated into the community. This will involve considerable public discussion on a very localized basis on the exact mitigations, community enhancements, , and operating parameters. While much of this (i.e. precise operating hours, for example) may be better determined later. the community and political leaders will want to know such things as: . Precise location and amount of parking . Station size, scale, color and aesthetic as'pects . Security and graffiti prevention plans, etc: ' . Noise/visual impacts and mitigation Some level of policy and budget commitment on these items will be needed before City Councils and aCTA Board members enthusiastically proceed to construction. To achieve this, an in-depth round of facilitated design workshops will be conducted through a partnership of the city and OCTA'staff. aCTA Board members and local city leaders will be very visible to the community during this process. These workshops would ask participants to focus on gaining consensus on what . elements or 'features are, necessary to ensure that The Centerline integrates with and ,serves the local community. Topics will include specific public concerns about local issues-Leo school access, aesthetics, scale of stations, parking, etc and other project aspects. ' By integrating these results with engineering work product, the aCTA Board can be assured that the recommended elevation, route, and technology (i.e. the basis for the detailed engineering) has widespread community support. The last step will be to finalize the EIS/R, including a mitigation plan, and circulate it for public review. Public review should commence in June 2003 and conclude by August 1, 2003, including City Council actions. The .OCTA Board could take final action .and certify the EIR by September 15, 2003. aCTA will conduct at least one public hearing on this document. 6 .
