PINEDALE – Pinedale Town Council members completed an extensive survey process to establish a list of priorities for 2021. Mayor Matt Murdock encouraged the board members to take time to carefully weigh each priority during council meetings last year.
The priority list is intended to guide town staff in structuring projects and can be used in grant applications and contract presentations, Murdock said at the meeting. The list put before the council was not exhaustive, he added.
The priorities were divided into seven categories. The top five priorities in each category are listed below, in order from highest priority to lowest priority as ranked by council members. The full list is posted on the town's website.
