Also in the audience, but I couldn't get their photos: Katrina Foley, Eric Bever, Jay Humphrey.

Working the event, also no photos:  Cindy Brennerman, Robin
Leffler.

I left after Copeland spoke about the Westside, so I missed hearing Terry Welsh about Banning Ranch and Anna Vrska , the Questions and Answers and the Closing Statement and Input from Attendees.

The major concern of the attendees seemed to be density and lack of parking in new developments.

At one point, when Copeleand was speaking about the Westside, Eric Bever stood up from the audience to try to correct her on some point, but they wouldn't let him speak.  Let's just say that Copeland's understanding of the Westside's history and the Westside Plans did not appear to be very deep and she seemed to not understand how the puzzle pieces are being put in place for a great Westside. I believe she said that she moved to Costa Mesa sometime in the '90's so that may be the reason she didn't have a deeper understanding.
