He doesn't anticipate that this is the final review; this is an opportunity for learning and input. Community Development Director Grochala explained that staff, along with consultant Ciara Schlictling of Bonestroo, intends to provide an overview of the Plan and its key components. The Plan process has been underway since 2006, commencing with the city survey and visioning process. The council received a memorandum outlining a number of revisions that have been made to the draft Plan previously provided to the council. The council also received revised maps. The Plan was presented to the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Panel at several meetings during August for their input. The plan has also been presented to the city's Environmental Board, Park and Recreation Board, Economic Development Advisory Committee as well as to the public at an open house. The Planning and Zoning Board has held a public hearing, reviewed, and, with some suggested revisions, approved the Draft 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The revisions recommended through that process that have been incorporated into the plan since the council last reviewed it are outlined and explained in written information presented to the council. 39 1.

In 42 that light the city's goals and policies have been used throughout the process. The "full 43 build" planning process was used to ensure that planning includes consideration of what 44 the city will look like down the road. Forecasts turn into needs assessments.
