This Committee, composed of various D60 staff and community stakeholders, is tasked with finalizing rightsizing recommendations from the input and ideas gathered during a series of community open forums. The goal is to develop three comprehensive potential rightsizing recommendations for final consideration by community stakeholders in the fall.
A list of all committee members and their schedule has been posted to the D60 Rightsizing website.
