Summary

Staff proposed small-group table discussions at the 1:30 visioning meeting after the walk to generate topic-specific input; members suggested historic stops including the village cemetery, local churches and houses and distributing printed driving‑tour booklets.

Speaker 4 recommended the visioning meeting use small rotating groups with table topics—land use, natural resources, historic character, community connections—and collect ranked priorities from participants. "We would ask people to write down their top issue or priority in that topic area," Speaker 4 said, explaining the method used successfully in other towns.

Members proposed tour stops (Sanford Community Church, the village cemetery, the old chemical works site and other historic houses) and recommended printing a small number of driving‑tour booklets for attendees to take home. The group discussed contacting the school and local businesses (e.g., Chase Creamery) to confirm availability and whether materials can be staged in the gym prior to the meeting.
