Mounds View City Council August 24, 2020 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br /> <br />A roll call vote was taken. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />F. Resolution 9254, Approving Funds to Complete the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council approve funds to complete the <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan. He explained the 2040 Comp Plan was a 20 year plan that addresses <br />housing, transportation, along with storm and sanitary sewer. He reported the City’s draft plan was <br />submitted to the Met Council in September of 2019 and there were a number of items that were <br />either incomplete or missing. He indicated staff requested a quote from Stantec to complete this <br />work and the quot e was for $16,000. He noted the Council tabled action on this item in March <br />and staff was bringing this matter back for further consideration. He noted Stantec has revised their <br />expense to $12,000. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked what the City’s degree o f confidence was that the Met Council <br />would approve the revised plan or find more issues with the Comp Plan. Community Development <br />Director Sevald stated there was always a chance, but it was his hope staff and Stantec would have <br />the majority of the issues addressed. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller questioned if Stantec was familiar with doing Comprehensive Plan’s and Stantec <br />lead the City in the right direction. Community Development Director Sevald reported Stantec <br />staff was fairly experienced, while the associate members were younger and inexperienced. He <br />explained there were delays at the Met Council level given the fact they were overwhelmed by <br />receiving all of the Comp Plans at once for review and comment. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller inquired if the $12,000 bid was the best Stantec could do for the City. City <br />Administrator Zikmund reported this was the case. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller stated it was quite a disappointment that the Comp Plan came back to the City <br />requiring the expenditure of additional consulting funds in order to meet Met Council <br />requirements. She appreciated the fact staff had requested Met Council to complete a survey on <br />the amount of money each City had spent to complete their Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Meehlhause.
