steering committee to review plan drafts. One member of the Plan Commission was
recommended for this committee. The consultant will meet with the Plan Commission at
a later date, however, Commissioners thought an earlier meeting would be more
beneficial for the process. Commissioner Weaver volunteered to be on the steering
committee.

on November 25th for consideration or a vote. A draft is on the website.
