Planning staff seeks volunteers for comprehensive-plan task force; council to appoint volunteers

Community development staff described the process to update the city’s comprehensive plan, which is typically updated every ten years and whose next deadline the staff said is the end of 2028. Staff said they have recruited three planning commissioners to volunteer and have advertised for resident volunteers; the work would generally meet about once a month starting this fall and likely run about a year, with some public open houses and occasional planning-commission or city-council meetings as needed.

Two residents (one identified in the packet as Missy Greener; another name noted as Marlene in the discussion) indicated they could serve, and council said it would appoint volunteers and follow up with logistics and meeting notices. Staff said the item will return under regular business as needed for appointments or further direction.
