Director Garner spoke on the two CompPlan updates that took place earlier in the week.
One at the Town Board Study Session and one at the Larimer County Board of County
Commissioners. Notes and meeting links will be distributed to the Committee.
Director Garner reviewed the Draft Vision and Guiding Principles statements prepared by
Logan Simpson. Questions about the words responsible and iconic were commented on.
It was noted that the Guiding Principles are how we get to the Vision.
Recommendations from the Environmental Sustainability Taskforce were discussed.
Strong collaboration, resources and partnerships will be needed in order to implement
these ideas. Prioritizing these recommendations is essential.
With the help of Restorative Justice, Community Conversations are something being
considered in regard to CompPlan subjects. These can help with differing opinions and
tensions existing within the citizens of the Town and County to come to a consensus.
