The information includes a memorandum reflecting the council's <br /> 22 direction of June 3 to change the forecast numbers (attachment F to the report). He <br /> 23 reviewed the list of revisions. He explained that Bonestroo consultant Ciara Schlicting <br /> �"' 24 will go over the revisions at the council meeting. Basically, the city employment <br /> 25 forecasts, land use and staging maps will not change and the city will do an educational <br /> 26 component to get more information on affordable housing in other cities. The report <br /> 27 contains information presented in the past including comments from area jurisdictions <br /> 28 and responses, staff comments and recommended changes, city council revisions that <br /> 29 were discussed over the last eight months (revisions of growth management policy to a <br /> 30 five year review period), five year phasing within the ten year staging, some changes <br /> 31 related to Planning &Zoning review, density modifications, and a housing goal language <br /> 32 change regarding affordable housing. Staff will work on implementing the changes as <br /> 33 quickly as possible into the actual plan. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 A council member expressed some discomfort in voting on the Plan without the actual <br /> 36 changes included. Staff assured the council that the changes are fully presented in the <br /> 37 report. The Metropolitan Council may or may not request modifications to what the city <br /> 38 submits but the Plan will definitely come back to the council for final approval. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Mike Trehus, 675 Shadow Court, was present. He suggested there are some serious errors <br /> 41 in the Plan. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 A council member remarked on the inappropriateness of bringing forward accusations of <br /> 44 errors this late in a two year process. <br /> 45 <br /> 1 <br />
