STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING #1
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE, ILLINOIS
LAKOTAJANUARY 22, 2015
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS MEETINGS AND TASKS
Why am I here?
You’ve been recruited because we want your insight as to what you think would make the
United City of Yorkville great. The ultimate purpose of the steering committee is to help
guide the creation and development of the Comprehensive Plan Update.
What is the Comprehensive Plan Update?
The United City of Yorkville is preparing an update to its 2008 Comprehensive Plan,
an important policy document for guiding the City’s long term growth and development
while maintaining and enhancing its quality of life and community character. The
Comprehensive Plan is an important document that outlines policies and strategies for
addressing issues related to infrastructure, capital improvements, community design
and aesthetics, downtown business development, housing and neighborhoods, parks
and open spaces, transportation, historic resources, and community sustainability and
resiliency. The goal of the Plan Update is to provide a compelling vision for the United
City of Yorkville and will be the official public document to help guide the City’s future.
How much time will this take up?
You should expect to meet as a steering committee on a regular basis, but it won’t involve
more than 15-20 hours over the course of an eighteen month planning process.
What is my role in all of this?
As a steering committee member, you are being asked to help craft the long-term vision
for the United City of Yorkville, define project objectives, review public input, and shape
specific elements of the plan. But most importantly, you will provide a means for which
the community’s concerns can be conveyed to the consultant team.
Who else is on the steering committee?
Steering committee members may range from property owners to the Mayor of Yorkville.
We think having a variety of voices is best, so you will be joined by local business
owners, United City of Yorkville employees and politicians, local residents, and civic
organizations.
Do you have a list of meetings and tasks that we should
anticipate on participating in?
We sure do! Members are asked to commit to the following tasks:
• Steering Committee Interview Session: a one hour meeting scheduled at the
beginning of the planning process.
• Community Speak-Out: a two hour interactive workshop in determining
community planning goals.
• Steering Committee Review of the Draft Concepts and Directions Report:
a review meeting with the consultant team and the City to discuss the Draft
Concepts and Directions Report. This meeting will last approximately one and
one-half hours.
• Steering Committee Review Meeting: a one to two hour meeting to discuss
preliminary vision, goals, objectives, and planing strategies.
• Town Meeting / Community Workshop: a two hour interactive workshop in
reviewing comprehensive planning strategies.
• Steering Committee Review of the Draft Comprehensive Plan Update: a two hour
meeting with the consultant team to review the Draft Comprehensive Plan Update.
• Community Open House: a two house interactive workshop in reviewing the Draft
Comprehensive Plan Update with the community.
• Steering Committee Review of the Final Comprehensive Plan Update: a
one to two hour meeting to review and make additional changes to the Final
Comprehensive Plan Update.
