- Comprehensive plan committees: The board voted to dissolve the existing comprehensive-plan committee and to create a Comprehensive Plan Review and Implementation Committee; staff will draft bylaws and advertise openings.
Several motions were recorded as passed in the minutes; the transcript did not include a full roll-call vote tally for every motion. Where the minutes show a motion and passage, this summary records the motion, mover (when named) and the documented outcome in the meeting record.
Ending: Staff will carry out the approved reserve transfers, complete surplus and procurement steps, draft bylaws for the new planning committee, and provide follow-up materials (ISO report, boat outfitting costs, gateways project oversight) at upcoming meetings.
