Committee presses for broader survey outreach as zoning rewrite proceeds

Committee member (S3) summarized the consultant work and emphasized that the public survey—currently at more than 500 responses—should be pushed further before the committee treats workshop attendees' views as representative. "You've got measured 1 as a zoning commissioner, but that's not what...the public wanted," S3 warned, noting workshop attendees are a subset of the town.

S4 and others urged continued outreach tied to public events, noting workshop 'flicker' exercises reflect only those present and the survey will provide a broader snapshot. The committee agreed the survey will remain open until the consultant signals a cutoff, and members asked staff to circulate RiverCOG materials and minutes to each commission to close data gaps.
