Rivieras LAPAC: second survey shows older, whiter respondents; members press for broader outreach
Summary
Lake County advisors reviewing the Riviera area'survey found responses skewed toward older, primarily white residents and recommended targeted outreach (schools, evening meetings, Spanish-language stakeholders and tribal consultation) to reach underrepresented families and younger households.
Staff member (S1) opened the meeting by presenting the second round of public-survey results for the Riviera planning area and said, “It looks like we had about 39 total for Middletown,” noting the sample skewed older and primarily white.
S1 and several LAPAC members said the pattern likely reflects who is comfortable completing online surveys rather than the full population. "It feels like we weren't very much represented," said Resident (S3), who urged outreach to parents and school communities so families would see and respond to future polls.
The group agreed on specific follow-ups: scheduling at least one evening in‑person meeting in the Riviera area, conducting targeted Spanish-language engagement, and coordinating tribal outreach to include sovereign nations' input. S1 asked members to review the existing Riviera area plan online and to complete a Doodle poll to help schedule additional sessions before a mid‑November deadline.
