Since Phase II began, the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) membership has expanded to 29 members. Five CAC meetings have been held since September 2004, including two "charette" workshops, which have enabled participants to review plan alternatives in three dimensions. A bayfront tour and a development economics class have also been held for CAC members. In addition, a public meeting was held in December to update the public on the status of the CYBMP and to solicit input on the three-dimensional models. Additional CAC meetings and public meetings are planned as the master plan progresses.

The next steps in the process include completion of the financial feasibility analysis and a refinement af the development program.
