Willow Park's Sept. 8 packet sets applications for its Comprehensive Planning Advisory Committee for Sept. 9 through Sept. 18, once the council approves creating it; the city had not posted a record of Tuesday's vote as of this morning

The staff briefing sheet for item 15 says the agenda action requested is for City Council to approve the creation of the Comprehensive Planning Advisory Committee, after which time the City Secretary and staff will accept applications, contact existing applicants on file and existing board and commission members who are not already serving on two boards, and residents, businesses and community partners. The sheet's schedule: application process Wednesday, September 9 through Friday, September 18; City Council committee appointments Tuesday, September 22; first committee meeting Thursday, September 24 at 6:30 p.m., a mandatory virtual meeting; Public Workshop #1 Saturday, October 3, 12 to 3 p.m. at City Hall, a public come-and-go event; a second committee meeting Oct. 29 and a second public workshop Nov. 21, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at City Hall; the third and fourth committee meetings and the third workshop are listed as TBD, March through May; the sheet ties the third meeting and the third workshop to completion of the final draft of the plan. The sheet says the committee focuses only on the Comprehensive Plan update, reviewing land use visions, goals, policies and community feedback, and is not required but recommended as a way to achieve greater community involvement. The application form in the packet says to return it to the City Secretary's Office, 120 El Chico Trl., Ste A, Willow Park 76087, that a member cannot serve on more than two boards at once, and that questions go to (817) 441-7108 ext. 108. Whether the council voted Tuesday to create the committee is to be confirmed: the city's meetings hub had no minutes or video posted for the Sept. 8 meeting as of this morning, and the Ledger reports votes from the record.
