Resolution 9254, Authorize Funds to Complete the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council authorize funds to complete the <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan. He explained the City had a contract with Stantec through the end of <br />2019 to complete the draft of the Comprehensive Plan. This draft was submitted to the Met <br />Council in December and staff needs additional funds to finalize the plan. He reviewed the <br />expense to complete the Comprehensive Plan and requested approval of the fund authorization. <br /> <br />City Administrator Zikmund indicated staff was requesting the assistance from a consultant due to <br />additional requirements the Met Council has placed on cities. He reported he has reached out to a <br />number of his colleagues and there were concerns regarding the requirements from the Met <br />Council. He stated this was a non-budgeted item. He commented Metro Cities was working with <br />the Met Council given the fact they have created a moving target. He explained even if this item <br />is approved, staff may delay work on this project to ensure the City of Mounds View can properly <br />meet the mark. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer discussed with the Council how the additional expense would be funded by <br />the City. He reported the City could cover the full price of completing the 2040 Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn expressed frustration with the manner in which the Met Council was <br />handling this issue. She supported the City taking a stand given the fact the City complied with <br />the original Met Council requirements. She recommended the City hold off on meeting the new <br />requirements. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked if the City had additional funds available given the fact Jacob <br />Martin had recently resigned. Finance Director Beer stated this was the case.
