Committee asked to edit Sandpoint Forward resilience plan ahead of next grant cycle
Loading...
Summary
Staff relayed a request from plan leaders for committee members to pre-edit and fact-check sections of the 81-page Sandpoint Forward resilience plan (six hazard chapters) so the document will be ready for the next grant cycle and public comment.
A committee member said Gwen Griffith, lead on the Sandpoint Forward resilience plan, requested that committee members review and edit sections of the 81-page plan so it will be in a stronger state before a potential next grant cycle starts in August.
The committee discussed the scope of the work (the bulk of technical edits are in six hazard chapters — smoke/wildfire, extreme heat and drought, floods, extreme cold/winter storms, and lake impairments) and recommended dividing tasks so three editors could handle the technical hazard chapters while others take lighter sections such as the introduction and appendices. The goal is to complete pre-edits over the summer so the plan can move rapidly into public comment if the grant is awarded in August.
Members examined practical issues: file format (PDF to Word), track-changes workflow, and avoiding quorum/"serial meeting" problems by limiting simultaneous editors (suggested no more than three editors in the shared working document at once). Staff proposed using a shared Word/SharePoint link so editors can track changes and comments; committee members volunteered to convert and parcel sections.
Committee members emphasized keeping the document accessible to nontechnical readers while ensuring the technical appendices remain robust for grant reviewers. Staff said they would distribute the working files and propose assignment of hazard chapters at the next meeting.
