Committee member Anthony Fitzgerald recommended that we include some language about adding the transitional ag zone changes that were previously discussed to the Comprehensive Plan. Questions about the census were brought up and City Administrator Tom Ourada informed the Committee about the numbers we got back from the census and how Ward I was off by around 600 people, which was due to Doane not having classes during the initial outbreak of Covid.
