Committee and Public Meetings / Workshops
Committee meetings and public workshops were held throughout the process to ensure
the JLUS identified and appropriately addressed local issues.
Project Kick-Off (PC / TWG Meeting #1) – February 26, 2018
The project kick‐off meeting was held as a joint meeting with the PC and TWG to outline
the JLUS process and goals and to educate all stakeholders about the Pinal County JLUS
and its process. Additional topics included a discussion and finalization of the Project
Area, the identification of compatibility issues, and clarification of roles and
responsibilities of participants.
Public Workshop #1 – June 4 and 5, 2018
The focus of this workshop was to explain the purpose and function of the JLUS, provide
an overview of the military operations at each National Guard installation in Pinal County,
introduce project participants, and share the JLUS approach and discuss the JLUS goals.
The format of this meeting included a presentation to the public followed by an open
comment period where attendees were encouraged to share their input on potential
JLUS issues. A user‐friendly JLUS project overview fact sheet was distributed at this
workshop to provide the public a tool for completing a compatibility issues exercise.
Attendees worked in groups around large‐scale Project Area maps to complete a
compatibility issues worksheet, as well as engage in group discussions with the JLUS
team. Participants were asked to complete a paper questionnaire about different
compatibility factors to be considered for the JLUS.
The questionnaire was also posted on the project website so that those unable to attend
the workshop were able to respond to the questions and provide input. The
questionnaire was available on the website for 30 days. After this time, the results from
the website were combined with the results from the meeting and posted on the
website.
