COMPREHENSIVE PLAN KICK OFF
Chuck Jarrell with Morgan County and Bobby Sills with WFN Consulting were present and gave an overview of the process of updating the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Sills stated that the comprehensive plan is a guide to growth that is updated every ten years or sooner. He said the community participates, you make assessments how you want to grow and make an agenda. He said phase one is complete. Phase II the public will be invited to participate. Meetings have already been scheduled throughout the county. By 2016 we will have a plan put together. There are three elements: common goals, needs and opportunities, and a community work program.
The work program is all the things the community will be doing. The plan will be adopted late next year. You will then have a five year short term work program and after ten years it starts all over again. Each Council votes on their plan. Rutledge’s meeting will be November 10th at the fire department on Fairplay. The council thanked Chuck Jarrell and the consultants.
Brenda Thompson made motion to adjourn. Tim Smith seconded, all voted in favor and motion carried.
