She asked him to speak more about that and what it might look like. <br /> 5 Travis Myren said he was specifically talking about overlapping some of the community <br /> 6 outreach efforts only. <br /> 7 Commissioner Greene asked if there is an overlap in time between the two plans. <br /> 8 Travis Myren said there may be, but timelines for both plans are not set in stone yet. <br /> 9 Chair Price asked when Cy Stober plans the comprehensive plan update and how long it <br /> 10 might take. <br /> 11 Cy Stober said he asked staff to draft to have an internal RFP ready for review by <br /> 12 December. <br /> 13 Commissioner Fowler asked what years the new comprehensive plan will cover. <br /> 14 Cy Stober said they are usually on a 25-30 year time scale. <br /> 15 Commissioner Fowler asked if the strategic plan would guide the Board, while the <br /> 16 comprehensive plan will focus on land use. <br /> 17 Travis Myren said the main difference is the amount of time each plan looks at, with the <br /> 18 strategic plan being short-term and the comprehensive plan having long-term outlooks. <br /> 19 Chair Price said the comprehensive plan is for development and works as a guide. <br /> 20 Commissioner Richards said she is pleased to see the opportunity to have the strategic <br /> 21 plan inform the comprehensive plan. She asked how the strategic plan will connect to the <br /> 22 advisory boards. <br /> 23 Travis Myren said it would be reasonable for the Board to ask the advisory boards to <br /> 24 help advance the goals of the plan. <br /> 25 Commissioner Richards said advisory boards could be leveraged for community <br /> 26 engagement as well. <br /> 27 Travis Myren said it would be the expectation that each departmental plan and advisory <br /> 28 board plan would inform and support the strategic plan. <br /> 29 Commissioner Richards asked about the parks and open space plan. <br /> 30 Travis Myren said the goal is for all of the plans to support priorities of strategic plan. <br />
