About the Members

The steering committee members are primarily volunteer members of the community.  Other members are volunteers who have a vested interest in the community and or are have participated in other local or regional planning efforts.

Meetings

UPDATE: Please note that the steering committees have finished their work on the Master Plan and there will be no additional public meetings for the steering committees.

PREVIOUS INFORMATION: The committees will hold, at a minimum, one meeting per month. Each steering committee will consist of a Planning Commissioner Chair and a Vice Chair to keep the meetings on task and to make sure that all persons are treated with respect and are fully participating in the process. Each committee will have a Staff Liaison Team for meeting and informational support. Because each of the focus areas is interrelated, the steering committees will periodically meet as one group to present outcomes to date.

It will also be the responsibility of all committee members to be present at as many of the public input meetings as possible to help facilitate input from the larger community and to be prepared to incorporate input from these meetings into their focus topic working document.

Please note, the steering committee members do not necessarily represent a particular stakeholder group, neighborhood, board, or commission; however, it is expected that their experiences working within the City, living in the neighborhoods, participating in community events, and acting on a board or commission will all bring a unique perspective to the overall process and be reflected in their recommendations to the Planning Commission.
