The charter of the city of Chandler calls for the City Council to create special boards, commissions or citizen committees. The council appointed such a committee at its Feb. 6 regular meeting.
Council unanimously appointed a resident advisory committee that will guide the 10-year update to the city’s General Plan. It will also, according to a staff report, play a key role in the “Public Participation Plan,” which it states is a larger strategic effort get more citizen engagement in the General Plan update process.
Just after several members of the committee introduced themselves at the Feb. 6 meeting, Mayor Kevin Hartke encouraged members to think ahead as to not just what residents need now, but what they’ll need and want over the next 10-plus years.
