What followed were some discussion with Chilton on "how this process works".
Question about our upcoming process: Can the town can change our strategies?
Answer: No, not really.
Question: How will strategies be implemented?
Answer: Our strategies will be implemented consecutively with others.
BUT we need to get the strategies first...strategies help us identify issues that need to be addressed.
Tonight:
Work in strategy subcommittees now to identify STRATEGIES
Elect co-chairs
Add'l members to invite
Schedule next meetings
