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.
