Summary
Dara Zink of the Bennington County Regional Commission told the Select Board the Hazard Mitigation Plan rewrite will take about 12 months, requires more public outreach than prior cycles, and needs a town planning team; two board members agreed to serve.
Dara Zink of the Bennington County Regional Commission gave the Select Board an overview of the five‑year Hazard Mitigation Plan rewrite, saying the process will take about 12 months and require a local planning team. "HMP process will take around 12 months and there would need to be a planning team that would participate," the minutes record. Zink added that some requirements were streamlined but public outreach obligations have increased.
Select Board members Jim Salsgiver and Frank Parent agreed to serve on the town planning team to work with BCRC on drafting and public engagement. The discussion focused on team composition and outreach; the Board did not adopt any formal deadlines beyond the general 12‑month timeline presented by BCRC.
