City Council extends public comment on vision implementation report to
March 27    

	(Columbia, MO) -- During its Feb. 16 meeting, City Council
approved a request by the Columbia Vision Commission (CVC) to extend the
public comment period on the draft Vision Implementation Report from
Feb. 27 to March 27. In a memo dated Feb. 16, 2009, Columbia Vision
Commission chair, Jeffrey Williams, Ph.D. requested the extension to
allow time for “a more thorough engagement of boards, commissions,
citizen-centered groups and individuals.”  
	Compiled by local visioning consultant The Communications Center
Inc., the draft implementation report includes an inventory of existing
efforts, an inventory of new resources needed to accomplish identified
goals and identification of organizations and entities that could be
involved in implementation. The Columbia Vision Commission will use the
implementation report as a tool for tracking vision progress and making
implementation recommendations to the City Council in two-year
increments.
