Master plan chapters near completion as board plans implementation committee
Summary
Master plan subcommittee reported progress on housing and natural-resource chapters; housing will be presented for adoption on Sept. 23. Board members discussed forming an implementation subcommittee to convert goals into measurable, assignable action items.
The master plan subcommittee told the joint meeting it has been working more than a year and has several chapters near completion.
One member said the housing chapter will go to a public-adoption hearing on Sept. 23 and the natural resources chapter will be presented in October. The subcommittee has met eight to nine times and has drafts ready for public review.
Board members also discussed the long-standing problem of converting master-plan goals into measurable actions. A planning-board member urged an implementation subcommittee — staffed by people who were not on the master plan writing team — to track responsibilities and push projects forward once the plan is adopted.
Next steps: the housing chapter will be posted for public comment ahead of the Sept. 23 hearing. The group agreed to consider an implementation committee that would maintain momentum after adoption.
