Public Involvement

The approach to public involvement is multi-faceted. Tuolumne County has assembled a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC), which is a group of airport stakeholders, community leaders, and others to assist in the development of the study. The PAC will be convened for four meetings to review draft chapters as developed by the consultant team. The same draft chapters that the PAC reviews will also be posted to this project website.

There will be a total of four (4) public information workshops (PIW) during the study process—two (2) for each airport. The workshops will be conducted in an open-house format where the public can visit with the project team and ask any questions they may have related to the project. The workshops are typically scheduled in the early evening to allow those heading home from work to stop by or to allow others to come after the dinner hour. The date and time of the workshops will be advertised locally and posted on this project website.

Any interested citizen is encouraged to provide comments and suggestions to the project team.

Comment sheets are provided to the PAC and at the public information workshops. Citizens can also utilize the ‘Comment’ form on this website. Direct communication with the project managers via phone or email is also acceptable using the "Contact Us" information below.
