Delhi board begins recruiting a diverse comprehensive-plan committee; kickoff meeting tentatively set
Summary
Board members said they received the comprehensive-plan contract, will have staff review it, and are soliciting volunteers via Facebook and Nixle using a Google form; a contractor-led kickoff is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday the 7th at 5:30, and the committee is expected to number roughly 7–11 people.
A board member told the meeting that the town/village has received the contract for a comprehensive plan and that staff (Gina) will review it for key issues before sharing highlights with the board. The board is actively recruiting residents for a comprehensive-plan committee: outreach is being done through Facebook and Nixle and applicants are asked to complete a short Google form that collects name, residence and age to ensure a diverse mix of participants.
The speaker said the contractor recommended a committee of seven to 11 people but the board is open to a slightly larger pool; initial sign-ups reported during the meeting rose from three to six. The board set an application deadline of "the 19th" as stated in the meeting record (the transcript does not specify the month) and tentatively scheduled a contractor-led kickoff meeting for Wednesday the 7th at 5:30 p.m.; the kickoff is for those interested in serving on the committee and the contractor will guide the group's first steps.
The board also mentioned an ARC grant tied to planning activities: the grant reporting period cited runs through the end of the month, and staff said they intend to pre-request funds so future billings (an example reimbursement of $10,000 was mentioned in the meeting) can be processed and budgeted. Staff asked board members to help recruit residents and to provide links by sharing the online form or assisting people in completing printed forms to drop off with the clerk (Elsa).
Next steps: staff will finish the contract review, post the application link, compile sign-ups and report back at future meetings; the board expects the contractor to host the kickoff and assist in forming the committee.
