COUNCIL MINUTES June 8, 2009 <br /> APPROVED <br /> 24 the way are all those who have voiced their opinion through the process, for and against. He is <br /> "-225 impressed by the process as it has been inclusive and well representative. Regarding affordable <br /> 226 housing, it is offensive to be exclusive in that area since it is important to many different people, <br /> 227 including seniors and young workers who need places to live. No one is supporting fast growth <br /> 228 or low quality; that just doesn't represent anyone's goal. He asked staff to clarify what action <br /> 229 this evening would represent. <br /> 230 <br /> 231 Consultant Schlicting explained that the council is not allowed at this point to adopt the Plan. <br /> 232 The motion is for preliminary approval. After tonight, staff will incorporate the changes <br /> 233 explained in the staff report into the Plan, send the Plan to the Metropolitan Council,who will <br /> 234 undoubtedly make some requests for additional information but eventually return the document <br /> 235 to the city for final approval. If the council finds that they want to make a fundamental change to <br /> 236 the Plan, it would have to be re-reviewed by the Metropolitan Council. <br /> 237 <br /> 238 A council member thanked everyone involved in the process. There have been many dedicated <br /> 239 people involved in the process who have broadly represented the community. There was two <br /> 240 years of volunteer work. Thanks were also offered to staff and the consultant for their effort <br /> 241 working on the Plan.
