The Planning Commission voted 8–0 to recommend authorization of a draft Resolution and Order (implementing the Board's R&O 2614) that would adopt Exhibit A (Washington County Community/Citizen Involvement Program) and repeal outdated orders; staff said the change responds to Goal 1 requirements and that no formal state approval is required.

Senior Planner Todd Borkowitz presented a draft Resolution and Order (RNO) implementing the Board of Commissioners’ earlier direction (R&O 2614) to update Washington County’s community involvement program and transition Committee for Community Involvement responsibilities to the Planning Commission. Borkowitz said Exhibit A in the draft RNO would satisfy Statewide Planning Goal 1 by documenting the county’s mechanism to evaluate the Citizen Involvement Program and that no formal state approval is required for the change.
