The amount of the Grant requested by the City <br />was $20,000 which was approximately 65% of the total work program budget that had <br />been prepared, based upon the tasks needed to be completed by the City to conform with <br />all the specified guidelines of the Local Planning Handbook. <br />The Metropolitan Council has notified the City that it has been awarded a grant in the <br />amount of $6,980. This grant award is equal to 34% of the amount requested by the City <br />and would account for only 23% of the cost to complete the proposed work program. <br />Based upon the significantly lower than requested grant award, the amount of City <br />expenditures for comprehensive planning activities since 1990 and the near fully <br />developed status of the community, staff has determined a need to review the proposed <br />work program and adjust it accordingly. To this end, we have prepared a revised work <br />program and budget for the minimum tasks the City will need to complete to meet the 1998 <br />Legislative mandate for Metropolitan Area comprehensive planning. <br />5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, SUITE 555 ST.
