• • Council Consideration The amendment and the need for a public hearing shall be considered at a regular or special Council meeting. Staff recommendations should also be considered before decisions on appropriate action(s) is made. • Public Hearing, Council, CRWD and RCWD Approval This step allows the public input based on the public sentiment. Council shall determine when the public hearing should occur in the process. Based on the Public hearing, Council could approve the amendments, and if necessary, refer the amendments to the Watershed District Boards for comment and approval. • Council Adoption Final action on an amendment following approval by the CRWD and RCWD is Council adoption. However, prior to the adoption, an additional public hearing could be held to review the plan changes and notify the appropriate stakeholders. • Annual Report to Council A brief annual report should be made by City staff summarizing development changes, capital improvements and other water management-related issues that have occurred over the past year. The review should also include an update on available funding sources for water resource issues. This annual report is also part of the City's MS4 Program. Grant programs are especially important to review since they may • change annually. These changes do not necessarily require individual amendments. The reports can, however, be considered when the plan is brought up to date. The report should be completed by July 1st to allow implementation items to be considered in the normal budget process. Copies of the report should be filed with the CRWD and the RCWD. The annual update can also serve as an important public information tool. A summary could be published in the City's newsletter. The plan will remain in effect through 2017. The plan should then be reviewed for consistency with current water resources management methods. At that time, all annual reports and past amendments can be added to the document. Depending on the significance of changes, a new printing of the plan maybe appropriate. At a minimum, the Capital Improvement Program should be amended every five years. • Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan Draft January, 2008 Page IV - 16 Part IV: Parks, Community, Economic Development, Implementation, Appendices
