December 1, 2017 Jon Sevald Page 2 of 5 Reference: Mounds View Comprehensive Plan A. Project Understanding City staff have an existing contract with our GIS Specialist to assist in mapping for the Comprehensive Plan. The mandated deadline for Met Council approval of your comp plan is the end of 2018 which means a draft will need to be completed by June in order to allocate enough time for review by neighboring jurisdictions. With City staff time being spread among a variety of projects, you need assistance to conduct the full analysis, mapping, and writing for the Comprehensive Plan for the Met Council's required elements to meet the deadline. You would like us to find opportunities to minimize costs. This can be done in a variety of ways - start with the 2030 Plan as a template, garner community feedback at strategic times in the process, or share responsibilities for writing narratives or the implementation plan. We can use the attached scope as a starting point and work backwards from there. The Local Surface Water Supply Plan, Sewer Plan, and Water Supply Plan need to be updated simultaneous to the comp plan. These will be separate documents and then include a summary in the Comprehensive Plan under the Water chapter. The scopes for these three technical plans are separate from this work plan. You would also like Stantec to bring the City Council through a visioning process at their December 4, 2017 working session. This exercise will help us identify the Council's intent - or vision - for Mounds View from now until 2040. This will guide the work of the recently -established Comprehensive Plan Task Force, City Staff, and Stantec through the writing of the plan. This visioning session will be included under our existing master services agreement and therefore not included in the scope and budget below. B. Scope of Services We will focus our efforts on completing the Comprehensive Plan within the Met Council timeframe and based on achieving the required elements. Our approach to the Comprehensive Plan update is to start with the current plan and organize it so that we can easily match the Met Council requirements and update the maps, texts, and information so it is a useful document to staff and decision -makers. Mounds View is projected to stay on its same path with few sites for future changes in land use or growth in population, so consistency with the 2030 Plan is appropriate and reasonable. PHASE 1 PROJECT KICKOFF Phase 1 will be all about organizing both content and feedback loops. City staff will establish the Comprehensive Plan Task Force and bring them through a process to evaluate the 2030 Plan's goals and policies to identify what is still relevant and what needs to be updated based on the Design with community In mind
