Halff and Associates comprehensive plan contract

Asked the board to postpone executing the Halff contract until the new city council is involved, noting the ~$980,000 total cost, that the council seated in January 2026 wasn't part of the RFP process, and that the public has had no chance to weigh in.

Asked whether the UDC update includes her Old Green Acres neighborhood and whether it involves taking property; was assured it covers everyone and does not involve eminent domain.

A veteran planning consultant urged the board and consultants to actually take public and industry comments to heart, saying his input is usually ignored in these processes.
