The grant k for funds to which the City is entitled for com- plying with mandatory planning requirements. You will note that the total program out- lined is in excess of the pending contract with Midwest Planning for $13,500. I assure you that Midwest Planning is committed to deliver all the planning elements to bring the City into compliance with mandatory planning for our stipulated contract amount. It should be recognized, however, that there will be staff time devoted simply to organizing meetings, publication notices, legal aspects and possibly some engineering involved in the process. We have added an estimate in for these items. The intent of this increased amount is to demonstrate the City's commitment to the project. We are suggesting that this local contribution be "in- kind" service for time and materials rather than a cash outlay. It is also anticipated that additional monies will be made available in the future to cities for completing their planning programs. Money was again appropriated by the last session of the legislature for the Metropolitan Council to disburse during the years 1978 and 1979. Should the City want to recupe more of its costs including those in -kind service costs, it is therefore appropriate to reflect them in the initial grant application. Do not hesitate to contact us should you have questions concerning this matter. cc: Joseph Chlebeck, City Clerk Clayton Parks, City Attorney Don Carley, City Engineer 0018
