Commissioners say growth-policy update still 'fluid,' contractor help may be needed

A member of the growth-policy team told commissioners the November 2025 draft of the county growth policy remains "fluid," with repeated revisions and formatting errors in distributed copies. The speaker said the county's contractor (referred to in the discussion as Great West) should remain involved to avoid more mistakes and flagged the possibility that the project may need additional funds to complete the work.

Commissioners and committee members described repeated revisions that have introduced layout and caption errors and said several distributed copies lacked consistent pagination and formatting. One member said: "We're in no way, shape, or form ready to present this document" and recommended the board plan for further review and, if necessary, supplemental contractor funding.
