Residents urge committees and more professional planning staff to guide code updates
Summary
Several residents recommended forming resident committees to shape the draft plan and one speaker said the town should invest in paid professionals rather than relying on volunteers for ongoing code work.
During the public-comment period, residents urged greater resident participation in drafting the code that will follow the general plan. "Maybe all of the full time residents get involved and we perform committees for input into this demo plan," said Elaine Bassett, urging organized local involvement.
Another attendee argued the town needs paid, trained professionals to carry out planning work rather than relying on volunteers, saying, "We need the money so that we can invest in professionals that are trained to do this in a full time basis." Meeting participants linked that staffing need to the scope of upcoming code-writing and to questions about annexation and development pressure.
