Vision Workshop Results

The Vision workshops began with a welcome and introduction from Daniel Iacofano, the meeting facilitator from Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc. (MIG). Mr. Iacofano gave a brief PowerPoint presentation on some of the issues and questions facing Laguna Beach today. He then opened up the discussion for the whole group to begin to identify elements, issues and strategies behind a future vision for the City. Lou Hexter of MIG graphically recorded the meeting discussion.

Following the large group discussion, some community members participated in small group discussions facilitated by community volunteers to focus on community assets, challenges and opportunities. All vision workshop participants received comment cards to record their ideas regarding Laguna's assets, challenges and opportunities. Approximately 175 people attended the morning workshop and 65 attended the afternoon session.

While more elements of the vision will continue to surface throughout the next several months, the following is a summary of some of the visions raised by community members during the two community workshops, small group discussions and responses from the comment cards. Appendix C includes the wall graphics from the large group discussion, the detailed comments from the small group discussions, and the comment card transcriptions.
