Survey Changes:

The WAC councilors discussed possible changes to the zoning survey that would be made by the survey sub-committee. 

Rena shared some inspiration from the Newton Area Council’s zoning survey.

 WAC councilors shared ideas for what the survey should include, but it was proposed that the sub-committee itself would actually draft the survey.

Isabelle motion to adjourn, all present in favor
