The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and prioritize site selection factors that would be used to evaluate candidate sites for the proposed reclamation and recharge facilities. Dames & Moore's computer assisted decision support technology called DECIDE was used. This report documents the process and presents the results. The DECIDE technology uses individual terminals that allowed each of the CWO members to simultaneously input their preferences regarding the site selection factors. Through the use of computer analysis, the polling results were immediately presented to the group for evaluation and discussion. In order to better understand the group's perspectives on the site selection factors, demographic information about the group was collected at the beginning of the session. Members were asked to select from among several choices for the following questions: o Where do you live? oIn your capacity as a CWO member, do you live and/or work within the project study area? o How long have you lived or worked in this area? o What is your primary concern with respect to siting these facilities? o What is your secondary concern with respect to siting these facilities? o What is your perspective as a CWO member? o How long do you expect to remain in the area? Thirteen members of the CWO participated in the March 2nd session. Eight of the thirteen working group members lived in Glendale and five in sUlTOunding communities. Nine lived or worked in the study area, seven of whom had lived or worked in the area for more than ten years. As can be seen in the chart on the next page, the CWO participants had varied perspectives from which they were approaching the facility siting process. .~~:.~RE ProjeCt WATERS Phase 2 October 1996 I O:\OfF\12.\PECIDEIWATERS'.DOC
