requests to amend our Comprehensive Plan in a manner that would be inconsistent with the current System Plan. It is possible that there are requested revisions to the Comprehensive Plan during citizen engagement that may influence the City's final response. Finally, it is noted that this is not the only opportunity to request a change to the System Statement. As the City embarks on a broader Citizen Engagement Framework beginning in 2016, the City will learn additional detail that may influence a desire to amend the System Plan. It is that time that Staff would feel more comfortable requesting an amendment to the System Plan as compared to disputing the System Plan today. Funding Source: This case is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. Recommendation: The City Council has adopted the attached framework documents to set the stage for updating the City's Comprehensive Plan. By adopting these documents, the City Council would set into motion the update, beginning with establishing a Steering Committee. Details of the recommended approach are included in the attached documents below. While no formal action is necessary, as part of this case, Staff would like to understand the commission's availably to participate in the Steering Committee's work (typically the Chair would be a key participant with at least one alternate). The expectations and format of the committee is outlined in the attachment entitled 'Steering Committee Structure'. Action: No action required at this time—however, the Commission should thoroughly familiarize themselves with attachments 1, 5, 7-9, and Chapter 10, the Park, Recreation and Open Space component within the existing City of Ramsey 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
