Summary

Public commenters praised the visuals and urged the plan to show historic resources clearly; speakers recommended a DEI committee representative and a youth member on the advisory subcommittee to improve outreach to underrepresented groups.

During the public comment period several residents spoke in favor of clear, accessible mapping to show historic resources and asked that outreach include underrepresented groups. Alpia Barton said she values maps and visual clarity and asked how historic resources would be represented; a presenter responded that outlines or icons can be used instead of adding too many colors to maps.

Nicole Fox urged that the advisory subcommittee include a member of the city's DEI Committee and that a youth representative be considered so underrepresented voices are heard. Mark Davy, speaking as an individual and identified as a council member, supported limiting subcommittee size to around 12 and opening some seats to the public.
