Long Range Planning Advisory Committee
What is LPAC and what does it do?
The Long-Range Planning Advisory Committee (LPAC) was reinstated in 2023. It is a standing committee appointed by the Town Council and its seven members are resident volunteers with diverse backgrounds. Members are appointed for staggered one, two, or three year initial terms, and members may be reappointed to serve up to 9 years. All meetings are working meetings that are open to the public. Public comment is welcome and will be taken at the discretion of the chair.
LPAC advises the Town Council on the land use polices of the Town and any other projects assigned to it by the Council in accordance with the annual work plan. Town Council Resolution 60-2023 charges LPAC with the following:
- Advise Town Council on potential policies and projects related to the Town’s future growth and development
- Provide input on the updated Comprehensive Plan
- Assist in implementing the next updated Comprehensive Plan
LPAC works collaboratively with all interested parties and stakeholders to produce informed recommendations to the Town Council. The Town Council decides whether to accept, reject, or modify any recommendations from LPAC.
MEETING SCHEDULE
Meetings are held at Town Hall on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, at 5:00 p.m. Please check the Upcoming Events calendar for meeting specifics, including cancelations, special meetings and agendas, or contact Town staff.
