HALF MOON BAY BREWING COMPANY PRESENTS
BREWS AND VIEWS ON FEBRUARY 2
“The Power of Deliberative Polling”
Free public forum welcomes key organizers of the What’s Next California project, James Fishkin and Zabrae Valentine, with moderator Lenny Mendonca, Director of McKinsey and Company
What:
What’s Next California? — the first state-wide deliberative poll in California — was conducted in 2011 in an effort inform citizens about key public issues using television and public opinion polls in a new and constructive way. This poll covered four basic areas: the initiative process, the Legislature, state/local relations and tax/fiscal issues. Thirty proposals were deliberated by a statewide scientific sample of 412 participants and their conclusions offered many surprises. A panel including key organizers of the project — James Fishkin of the Center for Deliberative Democracy at Stanford University and Zabrae Valentine of California Forward with moderator Lenny Mendonca Director, McKinsey & Company — will discuss the project process and findings.
Deliberative Polling®, developed by Dr. Fishkin, is a practice of public consultation that employs random samples of the citizenry to explore how opinions would change if they were more informed.
When:
Thursday, February 2, 2012
6 to 8 p.m.
Where:
Maverick’s Event Center
107 Broadway Ave.
Half Moon Bay, CA 94019
Cost: Admission and snacks are complimentary. Beer, wine, and other beverages will be available for sale at the event. Ten percent of the proceeds from all dinner sales at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company for this event will be donated to the Cabrillo Education Foundation.

Well, good luck with this round. We have been through this community participation thing on the subject of walking routes and trails in and between our communities a numkber of times before, including parts of two different county-led studies of local community desires on parks and recreation; several presentations by midcoast locals to the county trails committee to get coastside trails, especially for the midcoast, in the county trails plan; and a multi-year effort at the MCC’s Parks and Rec Committee, when there was such an active committee, to define the California Coastal Trail route and character through our area in detail.
For the entire area, we have come up with systems of north-south main trails with interconnecting trails and feeder routes in the developed areas. We have laid out a local segment of the California Coastal Trail, the state-official lateral access to California’s entire coastline, that took into account visits to our best natural features, access to facilities and commercial districts for trail walkers, private property, existing walking routes that could be incorporated, minimal physical disruption to the trail route, etc.
Guess the county didn’t like any of that. They certainly blew it all off as non-existent when it came to building a road through Mirada Surf West and calling it a trail. And they also pretended none of it existed when they formed their own Redwood-City-instigated, urban-oriented parks and rec committee for our area a couple of years ago.
So we get to pretend trails and walkways are a fresh challenge and will take an outside expert to get us oriented. What kind of food and drinks will they be serving?
