The meeting, hosted by the City of Madera at the Madera Municipal Golf Course, was steered by an independent facilitator, Bill Chiat, of Alta Mesa Group, LLC. The joint session kicked off with reflections on the progress made over the past year. Staff provided presentations on regional transportation, homelessness, economic development, and high speed rail followed by a raw yet constructive discussion on how to tackle those issues collectively as “One Voice.”
