Resolution 9254, Approving Funds to Complete the 2040 Comprehensive 10 <br />Plan. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council approve funds to complete the 13 <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan. He explained the 2040 Comp Plan was a 20 year plan that addresses 14 <br />housing, transportation, along with storm and sanitary sewer. He reported the City’s draft plan 15 <br />was submitted to the Met Council in September of 2019 and there were a number of items that 16 <br />were either incomplete or missing. He indicated staff requested a quote from Stantec to complete 17 <br />this work and the quote was for $16,000. He noted the Council tabled action on this item in 18 <br />March and staff was bringing this matter back for further consideration. He noted Stantec has 19 <br />revised their expense to $12,000. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked what the City’s degree of confidence was that the Met 22 <br />Council would approve the revised plan or find more issues with the Comp Plan. Community 23 <br />Development Director Sevald stated there was always a chance, but it was his hope staff and 24 <br />Stantec would have the majority of the issues addressed. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Mayor Mueller questioned if Stantec was familiar with doing Comprehensive Plan’s and Stantec 27 <br />lead the City in the right direction. Community Development Director Sevald reported Stantec 28 <br />staff was fairly experienced, while the associate members were younger and inexperienced. He 29 <br />explained there were delays at the Met Council level given the fact they were overwhelmed by 30 <br />receiving all of the Comp Plans at once for review and comment. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Mayor Mueller inquired if the $12,000 bid was the best Stantec could do for the City. City 33 <br />Administrator Zikmund reported this was the case. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Mayor Mueller stated it was quite a disappointment that the Comp Plan came back to the City 36 <br />requiring the expenditure of additional consulting funds in order to meet Met Council 37 <br />requirements. She appreciated the fact staff had requested Met Council to complete a survey on 38 <br />the amount of money each City had spent to complete their Comprehensive Plan. 39 <br /> 40 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9254, 41 <br />Approving Funds to Complete the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. 42 <br /> 43 <br />A roll call vote was taken. 44 <br /> 45
