City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Chapter 9: Implementation <br /> <br />9-7 <br />Administration <br /> <br />The administration of the plan will require the coordinated action of various city departments, other <br />governmental agencies and with local elected/appointed groups. The involvement of citizens also will <br />be critical to the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />City Council <br /> <br />A Council-Clerk-Administrator form of government manages the City. This form of government <br />provides for the City Council to exercise the legislative power of the City and to establish all matters of <br />City policy. The City Clerk-Administrator is responsible for the administrative operation of the City <br />and is responsible to the City Council for the administration of all matters relating to the City. <br /> <br />Advisory Commissions and Committees <br /> <br />To assist with the development and implementation of city policies, the City Council created several <br />advisory commissions and committees. These commissions and committees serve in an advisory <br />capacity to the City Council by providing assistance about their areas of interest or expertise. Under the <br />direction of the City Council, these advisory groups play an important role in the implementation of this <br />plan. The City Council may charge these commissions and committees with modifying their respective <br />programs to implement the recommended actions and to carry out City policies pursuant to the direction <br />of the City Council. The administration of the Comprehensive Plan also may require the formation of <br />temporary or ad-hoc committees to address specific issues or matters. These advisory groups include: <br /> <br />Charter Commission: Advises the City Council on matters about the City Charter, including revisions <br />to the charter. <br /> <br />Economic Development Commission: Advises the Economic Development Authority (EDA) and the <br />City Council on matters about economic development, redevelopment and business retention. <br /> <br />Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission: Advises the City Council and staff on City recreation <br />programs, recreation facilities and programs and parks to promote the quality of life and represent a <br />diversity of interests. <br /> <br />Planning Commission: Assists the City Council with development review, long-range planning in the <br />City and helps to foster high quality development. <br /> <br />Streets and Utility Committee: Advises the City Council on matters and policies about the <br />reconstruction of city streets and utilities.
