COMMUNITYGROWTH <br /> I N S T I T U T E <br /> December 28, 2005 <br /> Mayor and City Council <br /> City of Pequot Lakes <br /> PO Box 361 <br /> Pequot Lakes,MN 56472 <br /> Re: Planning and Zoning Services Proposal <br /> Dear Mayor and Council: <br /> We at the Community Growth Institute are pleased to submit a proposal to continue to <br /> provide planning services for the City of Pequot Lakes. <br /> As in years past, we will continue to provide assistance generally in accordance with the <br /> attached schedule. We will still attend regular Planning and Zoning meetings and prepare <br /> a detailed staff report for each application. We will also attend Council meetings, as <br /> needed, to address planning issues or concerns you may have. We have an excellent <br /> working relationship with your full-time staff and will continue to provide assistance as <br /> requested. <br /> We propose to provide these planning services at our discounted (25%)hourly rate of <br /> $62. Mileage for meetings is $0.45 per mile and expenses are billed at cost(no <br /> markup). Although the total expense you will incur will be related to the number of <br /> applications you receive, we anticipate a budget of$14,800. We will continue to track <br /> our expenses closely and work with the City Clerk to seek reimbursement from <br /> applicants where your ordinance directs. <br /> In the 2006 budget, we budgeted $9,500 for preparing a lake plan for Sibley Lake. We <br /> are proposing to go forward with plan as budgeted in 2006, with work to begin in April <br /> and conclude in the fall of 2006. The process and end-product will be similar to the one <br /> prepared for East Twin. It is important that this process begin no later than April, and <br /> preferably earlier, if we are effectively work with the Sibley Lake Association on this <br /> project. <br /> We began working with Pequot Lakes in 2002. In terms of planning, there is no other <br /> city in Crow Wing County that has accomplished so much in so little time. We are proud <br /> of this, as well as proud of the limited budget this has all been done with. <br /> t South 7th Street, Suite 114 <br /> Brainerd, MN 56401 <br /> (218) 828-3064 <br /> www.communitygrowth.com <br />
