Board directs zoning commission to continue comprehensive‑plan work, will revisit Region 6 contract after session

Tama County Board · December 10, 2025

Summary

After debate about costs and state requirements, the board directed the county Zoning Commission to continue work on a comprehensive land‑use plan and postponed contracting with Region 6 until after the legislative session.

Committee member (Speaker 4) opened a discussion about engaging Region 6 for a comprehensive land‑use plan update; members noted that comparable projects can cost $160,000–$180,000 and that state 'smart planning' requirements significantly expand scope. One member urged caution over unfunded mandates; another suggested using the county's zoning commission to cover portions and run surveys for economic development input.

S4 moved "to direct the Zoning Commission to continue to work on the David County comprehensive land use plan and readdress this contract with Region 6 after the legislative session." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the board asked staff to continue exploratory work and to return with options after the session.
