CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION May 4, 2009 <br /> APPROVED <br /> 134 question of"slowing down", Mr. Grochala explained that it boils down to changing the <br /> 135 forecast or removing land and that, in turn, impacts all the other elements. The Plan is a <br /> 136 planning tool and is in place to give direction and to frame but it cannot be precise. A <br /> 137 council member noted that the 147 limit of the past worked because it minimized pace <br /> 138 and therefore mistakes. A council member suggested that the Plan that is called for by <br /> 139 the Metropolitan Council doesn't necessarily meet the council's vision of quality, etc. for <br /> 140 the city and so dealing with ordinances that will enhance the Plan toward the city's vision <br /> 141 has to be a high priority for 2009; staff must commit to reworking regulations to ensure <br /> 142 that happens. Mr. Grochala explained that staff does have a plan to get the necessary <br /> 143 policies in place (zoning map, housing policy, etc) and that includes ordinance <br /> 144 amendments. The Plan is a living document and the city should continually ensure that it <br /> 145 works. The council will discuss priorities for policy review. <br /> 146 <br /> 147 The Plan is due to the Metropolitan Council on May 29 and consideration of approval <br /> 148 will be on the May 11 city council agenda. <br /> 149 The meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m. <br /> 150 These minutes were considered and approved at the regular Council meeting held on June 8, <br /> 151 2009. <br /> 152 <br /> 153 <br /> 154 66.3Ale %3 <br /> 155 <br /> `- 156 Julianne Bartell, City Clerk John Bergeson, Mayor <br /> 157 <br /> 4 <br />
