The Town’s Comp Plan provides policy guidance regarding land use,
development, and growth of the Town. While it appropriately focuses on
broad community issues related to growth and development, it does not
provide significant insight into how the Town government must evolve as
an organization to achieve the Comp Plan vision. The establishment of
the 20/20 advisory committee will provide the Town with a vehicle to
involve key community stakeholders and to stimulate a community-wide
conversation about the long-term strategic direction of the Town
government. The mission of the 20/20 committee will be to assist the
Town in making key organizational
and investment decisions to ensure that it maximizes the potential to
achieve the Comp Plan’s vision for 20/20.
Term of Appointment:
All members of the advisory committee will serve on a voluntary basis at the
pleasure of the Town Board. The Town estimates that the initial work of
the committee will require 16-18 months to complete.
Meeting Schedule:
There will be approximately one committee meeting per month and there will
also be 2-3 public meetings and workshops held during the study period.
Tasks and Deliverables:
The 20/20 Committee will be responsible for providing general advice and
guidance to the Town and for assisting in the development and review of
interim and final work products and reports. After public discussion of
its recommendations, the 2020 committee will produce a final report that
makes recommendations with respect to:
