Task force work process and documents

A Rural Lands Task Force formed in May 2008. Its mission was to develop a rural vision of the county and define what the GMA calls "rural character." The task force completed its work during meetings in June and July and a handout of their recommendations was presented to the public at the Clark County Fair in August 2008. The public comments received during the fair were presented to the board in September 2008.

The BOCC held work sessions on Feb. 18, March 17 and March 24, 2009, at which members developed a set of Rural Principles and Values.

The task force recommendations were reviewed by the BOCC in a work session presentation on Feb. 3, 2010.

The task force recommendations report was presented to the BOCC in March 2010.

A Rural Lands Work Program was prepared at a Board of County Commissioners work session in April 2010, and reviewed by the Planning Commission in June of 2010.

Two open houses to review all of the task force recommendations were held in October 2010.

The Planning Commission reviewed the task force recommendations in January 2011.

The current phase of the Rural Lands Review was to initiate the rural lands study, authorized by the board in 2011.
