Survey Process • Initially distributed in May and June of 2007 to over 3,700 established public agencies throughout the state • Staff follow-up conducted during fall 2007 to obtain additional survey responses and clarify submitted data • Additional outreach focused on larger agencies and those known to offer OPEB • Special thanks to League of California Cities, CSAC, California Special Districts Association, CSBA, CASBO, and other associations for their assistance.
