➢ The following is an excerpt from the DRAFT February 3, 2009 Citv <br /> Council Minutes regarding the Comprehensive Plan update: <br /> 6.1.C. Comprehensive Plan Community Workshop <br /> Chuck Marohn informed the Council of a community workshop on the <br /> comprehensive plan that will take place on February 18th. Council <br /> Member Sjoblad questioned the timing of this study. He stated that <br /> municipal approval should be done prior to updating the comp plan. Chuck <br /> Marohn explained that the comp plan is broader than the highway and <br /> deals with many other factors. Tommy Woog stated that the comp plan <br /> revision will take about a year to complete and indicated that the <br /> transportation section of the plan is toward the end of the process. <br /> Council Member Ryan stated that due to the current economic impact on <br /> the City budget it is not prudent to spend money on a process that may <br /> need revision in a short period of time. Council Member Ryan suggested <br /> that this is an easy place to cut costs and not have a big impact in the <br /> City. He stated that the current comp plan is only five years old and that <br /> there will not be a lot of change in 09. Council Member Ryan stated that <br /> the road plan and Highway 371 project should be addressed first. <br /> Council Member Nagel suggested that if we are not dealing with Highway <br /> 371 in the early process, there is no danger to begin the comp plan update <br /> now. <br /> Mayor Adams stated that the Council needs to look to the future of the <br /> City. The Mayor suggested moving forward with the plan and putting the <br /> transportation study at the end. <br /> Council Member Ryan stated that transportation is the most key <br /> component for every other aspect of the city and therefore would put the <br /> transportation study first. <br /> Tommy Woog stated that the Council should continue with the process. <br /> Council Member Malecha suggested putting the project on hold for four <br /> months until municipal consent is made. <br /> MAYOR ADAMS MOVED TO BEGIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> UPDATE IN FOUR MONTHS. COUNCIL MEMBER MALECHA <br /> SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> February, 2009 Staff Report Page 3 <br />
