Members Present Scott, Kent, Tunde, Tom, Lisa and Matthew Approval of the September 25th Minutes, Kent noted a correction. Lisa was present and listed as absent. Scott made motion to approve the minutes with that correction, Tom 2nd Carried Public None 2025 Comprehensive Plan Josh Miller from Cedar Corporation passed out the Town Utilities and Community Facilities He defined the difference between created a goal vs. a measurable objective. Ex. “Increase broadband access by 10%. Policies are defined by what you are going to do to achieve that goal. Tunde had handwritten goals and reorganized a new draft. Scott asked if we were ok with the content of the Town Utilities and Community Facilities. Kent and Tunde responded they thought so. Josh explained that he will put it in a final draft. Scott turned the attention to the TV where he showed the standard format. And thought that the current format was overwhelming. Tunde’s draft was presented. It went from 477 words to 639 words, so Scott ran it through AI and consolidated it and came up with an executive summary of just 350 words. Goals and Objectives don’t change, then he asked for key points summary. Give me the condensed version. They agreed that we want a format change. Josh said we can do an executive summary of the entire plan. Lisa suggested that each chapter has a condensed key version to summarize each chapter. Scott agreed on the design and Josh thought we have design options to make it more readable. The Commission discussed community participation and if a survey should be conducted. Was there something specific on a policy that we should put out. Scott thought we could get some input from Dunn County. Kent Said the person to talk to Adam Accola and the Clerk Andrew Mercil and share results from the County survey. Scott and Josh suggested an Open House format would be more helpful. Scott thought we should do Open House. Possibly scheduled it for 2.26.26. We will put out maps, draft chapters and present key points of each chapter. Maps will be the biggest attention. 6:30 will be our Plan Comm meeting if needed and at 7pm will be an Open House. Kent mentioned from the last meeting that the commission was looking at where we could add R2 zoning where the commercial corridor was already established. Together they reviewed the map and discussed where growth and R2 could be noted. We would not change zoning, but we would make recommendations. Scott will get a new map and ensure Cedar Corp has a current map with an overlay. Adjourn: Lisa made a motion to adjourn at 8:11pm, Tunde 2nd Carried. Next meeting was set on Dec 4th at 7pm (This is due to Thanksgiving and Christmas dates)
