Re:
Comprehensive Plan Kick-Off Discussion
Recommendation
None – Board feedback requested
Background/Discussion
This is the kick-off discussion to finalize the Comprehensive Plan Update
project the Board will be heading up. Based on my notes, the draft outline is
as follows:
1. Board will review current goals, objectives and actions from 2023
update. Provide feedback, updates, questions for staff, etc.
2. Staff will provide approximately two chapters at a time for your review
and feedback. (anticipate 12/2026 completion)
3. When this item is complete, one or two Town Hall meetings will be held
with the Board in attendance to solicit public feedback. (anticipate 2/27
completion)
4. Depending on feedback, additional Board discussion will be held. (no
current timeline, dependent on public feedback)
5. An RFP will be published to hire a marketing firm to update our current
comprehensive plan and provide a public facing document for citizen
use. (anticipate RFP publication in 1st quarter 2027 with timeline for
project to follow from chosen consultant)
Does the Board agree with this outline? A few questions to assist me with
future planning for staff time and resources:
1. Would the Board prefer that staff update the “government” document
and hire a marketing firm to summarize and provide a public facing
document?
2. Does the …

Introduction
The intent of this document is to help town staff and elected officials to implement
and monitor a five-year capital improvement plan for each department. While
projects and priorities can change throughout the year, this document serves as a
guide to communicate with each other and the public about the work that the Town
of Mancos is planning for the next five years.
The items in this plan are derived from three basic sources. First, projects and
initiatives that are priorities of the Board of Trustees, which are gathered from the

other community-stated priorities. Secondly, items in this work plan originate from
staff. Department Heads plan their work for the coming years based on identified
needs within their departments. Third, the capital asset inventory conducted by SGM
