Tangent Ballot Measure Passes
Although the official results are not completely tabulated, as of May 16, 2006, the citizens of Tangent have apparently decided that the new Vision Statements for the Comprehensive Plan meets their approval. The City of Tangent now has an official guide for the city's future. Out of the 549 currently registered voters, 207 of them, nearly 70% of the citizens who voted, voted yes and 90 voted no.
After many neighborhood meetings and a Vision Party at the Electric Training facility in Tangent, the Planning Commission was able to prepare and recommend to the City Council, several vision statements utilizing the core values expressed by the citizens and relating to statewide planning goals.

A lot of people helped develop this vision. I think it's strength is citizens developed rather than Planning Commission or Cith Council developing it and trying to get citizen approval. In the future, I recommend we start with the citizens.
I think you're right. Then, in 2078, we will finally have a completed comprehensive plan.
The Comprehensive Plan will never be completed. About the time one part is completed then another will need to be revised. That's the nature of planning.

When people are willing to give their time to compleat a task it can speed up the prosses. Volenteers are needed.
Point well taken Dell, I just hope we are doing more planning than we are reacting. My hat's off to you for all your time and effort! I hope the citizens all appreciate the efforts made by the commission and council. We all know it's not for the great pay.
Right it's not for the pay. the way to show your apprecation would be to give a small amount of your time. The commission wants to hear from a verity of people.
The Voters have passed the vission statment. We want slow smart growth. We sugested a population number of 1501. If the council ignors our vote. What action should be taken
