  TOWN OF HAMBURG | 2025 Comprehensive Plan Implementation

SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

Dear Supervisor Farrell Lorentz and Honorable Town Board:
The Town adopted the new 2022 Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Hamburg in January of 2023. The
new Plan included many recommendations and action items that will help the Town achieve its Vision.
Wendel began assisting the Town with some major rezoning actions in 2023 to help begin this
implementation, and you formed a Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee (CPIC). This
committee helps to oversee the implementation of the Plan and receive from and provide input to the
Town Board.

The Town Board in 2023 reached out to and authorized Wendel to assist with the implementation
committee, which was then continued into 2024 and 2025. The committee, with help from Wendel,
began to further outline and prioritize the actions to be accomplished in 2026 and “set the table” for
actions in 2026. These actions included zoning code revisions, zoning map revisions, additional
studies, coordination with other agencies, groups and organizations, and formation/assistance to sub-
committees. The committee also looked at completing some of the other priority actions for 2025 and
issued a report to the Town Board for the 2026 budgeting process. The Town has asked us again to
assist the CPIC with their work in 2026 and a meeting will be scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.

The following proposal includes Wendel’s estimated scope and fee for this work for 2026.

A. SCOPE OF WORK

Wendel proposes the following scope of work for the Implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.

  1. Meetings with CPIC
  a. The Wendel team will meet with the committee three (3) times during 2026 to ensure
  that the committee is well-aligned and understands their tasks moving forward. For
  these meetings, Wendel will prepare agendas, facilitate, and provide meeting minutes
  and assignments. Wendel may also need to follow-up with the committee chair and
  Town Board liaison between meetings and respond to questions raised.
  b. As stated above, Wendel will hold a 2026 kickoff meeting with the implementation
  committee. At this meeting we will discuss the approach to this year’s implementation
  actions, committee responsibilities and goals, and potential sub-committees’
  assignments. We will review the 2025 priority action items, identify those that can
  proceed now and how they will proceed, and identify additional items for the year.
  Assignments will be given at this meeting. At future committee meetings, we will assist
  the committee in reviewing and recommending actions completed by sub-committees
  and others.
