Output from Boards & Committees on 2008 Goals

Some boards & committees have completed the Goal Matrix from the 2008 LCP and their input has been recorded on a master list.  Those boards who have yet to respond will be reminded to do so.  The comment was made that clarified instructions should be issued with the reminder. 

The discussion shifted to the next step, when boards and committees will be asked to develop their own action items with the themes of the community word-cloud in mind. 

Benchmark/Timeline Planning

The Committee reviewed the draft timeline.  ATA Carlson highlighted the plans he has for meeting with a group on shellfishing including local shellfishermen and the Shellfish Advisory Board in January.   How Do We Make Shellfishing a Sustainable Industry? is a working title for the event.

The Committee gave feedback and asked that the Non-Resident Taxpayers be targeted for a planning discussion in the spring.
