A reminder that we will be holding a Special Meeting on Thursday,January 5 at 5:30 p.m. in the Lake Itasca Room.The <br /> intent of this meeting is to focus on designing a process and work plan to complete the vision and land use plan for The <br /> COR so that the City can move to the next stage (system plan design—streets, utilities, stormwater, parks, etc.). <br /> Joint Work Session with City Council <br /> A reminder that the Planning Commission and City Council will hold a Joint Work Session. Staff has amended the <br /> schedule and is now recommending that the Joint Work Session be held on Tuesday,January 24 at 5:30 p.m.This will <br /> allow the Planning Commission adequate time to complete the next task(process/work plan/policy questions) and have <br /> that output in time to publish on the City Council agenda.The City Council has asked that the Economic Development <br /> Authority be invited as well, as the EDA has a role in the development in terms of economic development goals and real <br /> estate transactions. <br /> Potential Date Change for Regular Planning Commission Meetings <br /> Please fill out the survey below as to your regular availability for potential meeting date changes. Staff is not suggesting <br /> a change needs to occur at this point, but wants to check in with the desires of the Commission. <br /> https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ramseyplanningdate <br /> Over the past couple of years, Staff has received a handful of inquiries about the potential of moving the Regular <br /> Planning Commission Date. A couple of reasons for the request. <br /> 1. Quicker turnaround of projects to City Council. Currently,the City Council Agenda is published the same date as <br /> the Regular Planning Commission, but earlier in the day as Planning Commission meets after business hours. <br /> 2. Avoid conflicts with The Draw Summer Event Series.The Draw Summer Event Series continues to increase in <br /> popularity. Unfortunately, Commissioners are left to miss a number of these opportunities due to our current <br /> meeting day of Thursday. Additionally, Freeing up this evening allows the team to utilize The Draw Summer <br /> Event Series as a means of citizen/public engagement, whether it be the Comprehensive Plan Update,The COR <br /> Development Plan, or other land use topics. <br /> Nothing says we have to change the date, and we certainly do not want to create a situation where an existing <br /> Commissioner can no longer participate. We would need full consensus to make the change.This is an opportunity to <br /> see if there is any desire to change, and bring the results forward for discussion.To reiterate, Staff would make no <br /> recommendation for change unless there was full consensus of the group. <br /> Staff Availability—December 23 through January 2 <br /> City Offices will be closed on the following dates: <br /> • Friday, December 23 <br /> • Monday, December 26 <br /> • Monday,January 2 <br /> Planners will be out of the office December 27 through December 30.JoAnn will be available to route phone calls and <br /> emails as needed. <br /> JoAnn Shaw <br /> 763-433-9824 <br /> ishaw@citvoframsey.com <br /> DRAFT AGENDA FOR JANUARY REGULAR MEETING <br /> 2 <br />
