Developers of WSO - Advice for Neighborhood/City Meetings

I'm flirting with transitioning over to the development side of real estate, which was always something that I wanted to do. One critical part of the job that is completely foreign to me is presenting a development to a neighborhood group or city council. For the developers on this forum, what are some tips or pieces of advice that you have for people presenting a project in a public forum?

This plus do everything you can to know the outcome ahead of time. Meet with planning and zoning people. Meet with city council. Address their concerns ahead of time and go in with 90%+ certainty you'll get approval.
