Fit and
Healthy Language for the 2013 Town Plan
Katrina Antonovich, the Fairfax Recreation Director,
explained to the Board the grant the Recreation Dept. received through the
Vermont Department of Health to add Fit and Healthy language to the
TownPlan. She explained that in future
grant applications for Fit and Healthy Communities, having pertinent language
already in the Plan increases the chance of success. Katrina introduced Lisa Derocher to the Board, who will be
writing the Fit and Healthy copy for the Report. There was discussion with the Board on whether they want the
language to be imbedded throughout the Plan or it there is a preference for a
separate chapter. There was general consensus whether a separate chapter or sub-sectionswould be better. Lisa suggested she could include an appendix at the end of the
document referencing language throughout the plan. Katrina offered to have an outline and sample language for the
Board to review at their next meeting.The Board will have Northwest Regional
Planning forward a copy of the 2008 Town Plan to Katrina and Lisa.
There was discussion among the Board regarding photos
for the new Town Plan. There was
additional discussion about the Town Office, and the
best ways to notify the community members using 1 call.
The Board had planned to review Chapter 13 from the
2008 Town Plan but agreed to wait until the rest of the Town Plan copy is
complete. The Board decided against
using a survey as had been used before the 2008 Plan. Additional discussion included the responsibilities of NRPC in
the revision process, and contacting bordering towns for copies of their town
plans.
