Mr. Norwood said that this will be shared with the other boards/ commissions and staff will incorporate the comments and findings into the General Plan. He said that there may be some things specific that have to come before the Council for action, such as the creation of a commission. Mr. Byrd said that one thing he did omit was that as the plan was in draft form it was taken to the Planning and Zoning Commission and he and Debbie Horton also talked of taking it to the Parks and Recreation Board, although at that time that Board were just getting started. Council agreed that they should move forward with the Plan and take whatever specific action before Council needed to be taken.
