~ PUBLIC HEARING ~

WHERE:  Benicia City Hall, 250 East L Street
WHEN: This Thursday, September 11, 2014
PACKED HOUSE: Plan to arrive between 3pm and 7pm

THIS WILL BE DIFFERENT…

At this hearing, our Planning Commissioners will be asking questions and making their own comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report. This is a very important part of the process. Please attend to hear what our Planning Commissioners have to say.
This will ALSO be the last PUBLIC comment hearing on Valero’s Draft Environmental Impact Report. If you have not spoken before, this is your last chance – you can still speak even if you have not submitted a speaker card before. And if you were at one of the last hearings and submitted your card but they didn’t get to you or you left before they could get to you, you can speak at this hearing.

 PLAN TO ATTEND.  Numbers speak!
For guidelines and suggestions on how to offer comments that are helpful to our Planning Commissioners, see RESOURCES (SafeBenicia.org).  For additional background information and resources see LEARN MORE on SafeBenicia.org.  Another good source of information is The Benicia Independent.

Bring a friend or family member. See you THIS Thursday!  NOTE: The Planning Commission meeting begins at 6pm to consider another agenda item.  The Crude By Rail hearing begins at 7pm.  It will be another packed house – you will have to arrive early to get a seat.

Note also that the public WRITTEN comment period has been extended until September 15.  If you can’t make the meeting, or have already spoken, there is still time to send in written comments.  Again, see RESOURCES for help on written comments.
