Board plans workshop on comprehensive land-use plan; will wait for full board
Summary
The board discussed scheduling workshops on the comprehensive land-use plan and creating a steering committee, agreeing to wait until a new alderman is seated and targeting a Nov. 12 workshop so the full board can review historical materials and consultant deliverables from TSW.
Board members discussed the process for the town’s comprehensive land-use plan update and whether to pause consultant deliverables during the transition to the newly seated alderman. Some members urged a workshop focused on historical context, outstanding contract deliverables, legal and financial decision points, and how resident input will be incorporated. Staff proposed gathering historical materials and presenting a workshop after the new alderman is in place and suggested Nov. 12 as a target date.
Discussion touched on whether committee chairs should nominate steering-committee representatives and whether the board or committees should choose representatives; one alderman asked that the board retain its role as the only elected body to express the will of the electorate. The board agreed to wait until the next alderman is sworn in and to have staff assemble relevant contracts and documents ahead of the planned workshop.
