Master Plan Update
Mr. Ackerson reported that the consultants for the Master Plan had been put on hold so we could do what we can in-house at a staff level to save money but due to work loads that has not been possible so the consultants will be providing some estimates for portions they can do to help alleviate this problem. Mr. Ackerson said he also has made a commitment to dedicate some uninterrupted time to work on bringing the master plan to approval stage and that will include focusing more on goals and objectives and the land use component and any other basic priorities. This will be done, he said, with the understanding that other smaller issues can be revisited at a later date but that way it won’t hold up completion of the base plan. He added that the intent is to schedule a large public workshop in the next 30 days to confirm input received to date and pinpoint a vision statement and land use plan so we can adopt Phase 1 of the Master Plan. This way, he said, other smaller issues can be revisited and added in phases at later dates without holding up adoption of the primary plan.
