Local board schedules Aug. 20 public hearing on amendment to economic development plan

Members of a local board agreed to open a public hearing on Aug. 20 to consider amendments to the jurisdiction’s economic development plan, according to the meeting transcript. The planning commission and “the commissioners” previously approved the changes, a board member said.

The amendment, the board member said, revises Exhibit A and “was just, to set the BDC in determining housing workforce, housing needs for the future,” language the board member read aloud during the meeting. Board members said the public hearing will be the first item at the Aug. 20 meeting, at which the amendment text will be read and the public invited to ask questions.

The planning commission’s approval and a commissioners’ resolution were reported to the board during the discussion. One participant referred to a commissioners’ resolution as “20 25 10” during the meeting; the transcript does not specify whether that is a final citation format or the full resolution number. Board members did not record a roll-call vote on scheduling the hearing; participants agreed by voice.

Moving forward, the board plans to open the hearing, read the amendment language and accept public comment. No final adoption or further formal action on the amendment was recorded in the transcript excerpt provided; the transcript shows only that earlier bodies had approved the amendment and that the board scheduled the public hearing to receive comment.
