Reviewer Marcy West’s dozens of edits prompt clarifications across Vernon County plan
Summary
External reviewer Marcy West presented extensive editorial feedback—formatting, demographic caveats (Amish data), map labels and references—that the commission accepted for incorporation ahead of forwarding the plan to the county board.
Marcy West, an outside reviewer who joined the meeting remotely, walked commissioners through roughly 70 comments that ranged from formatting fixes to substantive clarifications about demographics, maps and economic-development references. The commission accepted many of her suggested edits and directed staff to incorporate the changes.
West recommended adding an explanatory note where demographic data might undercount certain groups (for example, uncertainty about Amish population representation in census figures) and flagged several map-legibility problems. "I really like public documents to be consistent," she said, and commissioners responded by directing staff to correct legends, add data-source citations and include date stamps in tables such as daycare listings.
The commission thanked West for the thorough review and voted to adopt the set of changes she proposed where appropriate. Staff will apply the edits, confirm citations and circulate the updated draft before the county-board packet deadline.
