New commissioner asks for orientation; commission discusses FOIA training and comprehensive-plan timeline
Summary
A new planning-commission member requested orientation and training; commissioners discussed Robert's Rules, available VML resources, FOIA training requirement, and that the town is roughly two years into its five-year comprehensive-plan update.
A newly seated commission member requested orientation and materials to help speed onboarding, asking, “Since I'm new at the game, I was wondering what can be provided for me in terms of an orientation or training.”
Fellow commissioners suggested reviewing Robert's Rules and recent ordinance redrafts, and the chair noted that the town requires FOIA training for new members and that the town or attorney offers such classes online. Members also discussed the comprehensive-plan timeline; one commissioner said the commission is roughly two years into its update and must produce a plan every five years, and they discussed regional planning assistance and whether to hire outside consultants or use existing documents as a foundation.
Commissioners agreed to provide onboarding resources and direct the new member to FOIA training and ordinance materials.
