138 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW /BUDGET At last month's meeting the Board and Mr. Zack Johnson discussed the priorities in the comprehensive plan review and the estimated planning costs of each. The City Council received the priority list at their 8/26/85 meeting and Mr. Johnson, in a memo dated 9/10/85, gave more specific explanations for the tasks required. Chairman McLean stated that the 1986 budget for P & Z should include $8,200 which would be for planning service fees for A) reviewing zoning densities $1,700 - $2,200, B) updating road plan $1,900 - $2,300, C) updating utilities plan - TKDA input required, and D) comprehensive plan update $1,500 - $1,900. This $8,200 figure is the total of the maximum charge for each item. Mr. Schumacher reminded the Board that this type of endeavor never turns out to go as smoothly as hoped and that generally cost esti- mates are exceeded. To allow for this situation, the Board needs to consider a reasonable amount above and beyond the planning estimates. He also noted that Mr. Johnson's explanations for the tasks to be completed may prove to be inadequate. The Board also questioned whether or not Mr. Johnson was aware that he would be required to attend public hearings or other special meetings. Considering these possible additions to the planning fee estimates, the Board decided that approximately $15,000 should be budgeted for the comprehensive plan review in 1986. Mr. Schumacher was asked to confer with Mr. Johnson to insure that he and the City have like expectations with regard to attending meetings, the ex- tent to which zoning densities will be reviewed and other 'house- keeping' costs. Mr. Johnson should be made aware also that the compre- hensive plan review will include one additional P & Z meeting per month, public hearings, etc. as required. Should Mr. Schumacher find that this figure of $15,000 for the 1986 budget needs adjust- ment, he can make the adjustment based on discussions with Mr. Johnson. PLANNING AND ZONING September 11, 1985 Page Four The item within Mr. Johnson's priority list which points out the cost estimate to update the park plan should be handled by the Park Board in their 1986 budget and is not included within the P & Z's plans.
