Innovation Stakeholder Meeting Description,
continued
An additional opportunity to provide written feedback during the meeting was provided
to participants in the form of individual stakeholder comment forms
(please see
Attachments)
. This was intended to aid in the collection of demographic information
and to enable individuals attending the meeting to submit additional input and program
ideas they may not have had the opportunity to offer during the small or large group
discussions. The form asked a series of questions designed to parallel those asked in
the facilitated process in the community meetings. The comment form was provided in
both Spanish and English.
A Spanish-language interpreter was present at all community participation meetings, as
well as American Sign Language (ASL) or any other language, upon request.
A total of 188 community members participated in sixteen (16) public meetings held
throughout the County of San Bernardino*. The discussions in the meetings produced
96 sets of breakout-group notes, hundreds of comments and brainstormed ideas from
full-group discussion, as well as a total of 150 public comment forms submitted by
individual participants, which will be shared in more detail later in this Plan.
This information, in addition to county and department demographics, treatment service
data, as well as documented areas of gaps in service or ineffective service approaches
were analyzed to complete the project proposed in this plan and serve as the basis for
evaluation of current and future program planning activities for Innovation projects.
