On July 6, Milton’s City Council authorized Amendment No. 1 with planning consultant Framework for up to $280,000 to complete resiliency and greenhouse‑gas reduction subelements required for the city’s climate element, funded by a Department of Commerce grant; the motion passed 6–1 after questions about cost and oversight.

Council removed a proposed $280,000 amendment to an on-call planning contract with Framework to complete the climate element of the comprehensive plan after council members and residents raised procurement concerns, missing packet attachments and unclear deliverables. Staff will return with more documentation and legal review.
