El Toro Base Hearings Get Earlier Times
- Share via
Public hearings on the future of the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station will be scheduled before regular Board of Supervisors meetings under a plan the board approved this week.
Supervisor Thomas W. Wilson sought the change, which makes the El Toro hearings separate from regular board meetings. The next hearing will be at 5 p.m. March 25, followed by the board’s regular meeting at 7.
As the county develops a reuse plan for El Toro, it will hold regular Local Redevelopment Agency sessions to give the public a chance to review information and give opinions. Wilson said he prefers to set a time for those meetings rather than put them at the end of regular board meetings.
The new scheduling “allows the public to come and listen--and participate,” Wilson said. “I believe it demonstrates our resolve to include the people of the county in our planning and decision-making efforts.”
The board approved Wilson’s proposal unanimously.
The March 25 meeting will be at the Hall of Administration, 10 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana.
