<br />Mounds View Planning Commission January 5, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 14 <br /> <br /> <br />indicated this event was tentatively scheduled for 6:30 p.m., at the Community Center, and was <br />in recognition of their dedicated work and devotion to the community. <br /> <br /> <br />7. Staff Reports / Items of Information <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated that in his memorandum to the Planning Commission, <br />Community Development Director Jopke has suggested they set Study Session dates for January <br />12 and 26, to complete the review of the Comprehensive Plan, and set the date of the <br />Informational Community Forum, for February 9. He explained that if the Planning Commission <br />was comfortable with this schedule, staff would insure that proper noticing requirements are met, <br />and would also work with Video Producer, Patrick Toss, to produce a short video, which would <br />be televised to provide information regarding the discussion of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson advised that staff is working on the final drafts of the maps. He <br />indicated staff was unable to print the maps in time to provide them to the Commission for <br />review, however, all of the input and information the Commission has provided has been <br />incorporated, and the next map presented should be the final version. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kaden inquired if the dates of January 12 and 26 were acceptable to the <br />Commission members.

She inquired <br />what would be accomplished by holding both meetings. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated this would depend upon whether or not the Planning <br />Commission completes their work on the Comprehensive Plan, or if further revisions are <br />required. He explained that staff could advertise the formal public viewing of the <br />Comprehensive Plan as the formal public hearing. He pointed out that the proper course of
