The stakeholder meeting provided introductions for the LAFCO staff and Winzler & Kelly team as well as Special District and City representatives. Executive Officer Crosthwaite and representatives from Winzler & Kelly described the study process, governance options highlighted in the Municipal Service Review, and sought input from the stakeholders present in regards to the governance options listed.
MWDOC Governance Study - Second Stakeholder Meeting
On October 22, 2008, Orange County LAFCO staff held the second MWDOC Governance Meeting. The stakeholder meeting explored the possible governance options which would be examined financially later as part of the study.
