Steering committee forms work-plan subcommittee and weighs consultant funding
Summary
Members authorized a small subcommittee and directed staff to draft a 2026 work plan; they discussed whether municipalities would fund a consultant (past contract costs cited at roughly $50k–$66k).
Committee members voted to create a small subcommittee and asked staff to draft a work plan for presentation at the March meeting. Speaker 5 proposed that staff (including Katie and Julia) take the lead on the draft work plan; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
Participants reviewed the history of the consultant retained in 2018 (Toole), noting municipalities and the county previously prorated funding. Estimates for a similar consultant engagement were discussed in the meeting: one speaker said the prior price range was “about 50,000 a year,” and another clarifying remark referenced “66.” Members agreed to prepare an RFP timeline only if jurisdictions can commit budget contributions; otherwise the committee will develop an in-house annual work plan.
