The MDD discussed forming a developer roundtable to solicit input from local developers, brokers, town staff, Planning & Zoning and council representatives on how to improve the town’s development process.
Harrison (staff) said the roundtable would be a separate stakeholder meeting from MDD public meetings to encourage candid feedback and avoid creating a recorded quorum. Board members recommended inviting brokers and local developers — names mentioned included Steven Shann, Dave Salisbury, Jamie Johnson, Jim Wills and Khondru Shiva — and discussed keeping the MDD presence limited to one or two members with identified backups to avoid forming a quorum.
Several members volunteered or agreed to serve as backups. Harrison said the town would summarize findings from the roundtable and share them with the full MDD. No formal motion or binding action was taken; the item was handled as a staff workshop matter.
