Election of Members to Development Regulation Task Force Staff explained that the new Comprehensive Plan establishes a number of new policies. In order to implement the Comprehensive Plan, the City needs to amend its official controls. This primarily means the Subdivision Ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance. In order to complete these amendments efficiently, a task force is being assembled. Staff reviewed the membership and purpose of the task force which will meet once a month to consider a new Subdivision Ordinan ce first, then the Zoning Ordinance. The task force will not be revising the comprehensive plan. In addition, staff has arranged to have Government Training Service conduct a special workshop at Lino Lakes City Hall. The workshop will cover the fundamentals of land use planning and regulation. Task force members must attend this workshop. This is set for Saturday, January 26, 2002 at 8:30 a.m. and will be an all-day workshop.
