BOLTON <br />& MENK <br />Real People, Real Solutions. <br />1.4 Public and Agency Involvement Plan <br />Our team will refine the public and agency involvement plan that was created in Phase I to confirm the <br />overall approach and/or make any necessary changes. This plan will outline opportunities and strategies <br />for input and encouragement of stakeholder participation. A communications plan (see Task 3) will <br />determine the tools used and the best times to engage the public. <br />1.5 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Meetings <br />The TAC will be comprised of a core group of planning and engineering staff from City of Ramsey, Anoka <br />County, and MnDOT. The purpose will be to understand individual agency perspectives to gain insight <br />relative to key issues or perceived impacts, discuss potential mitigation strategies to minimize negative <br />impacts, and identify considerations that could influence the project's conclusion. It is expected this <br />group would meet up to 5 times as needed. These meetings may include other agencies as needed. <br />1.6 Highway 10 Subcommittee Meetings <br />Our team will coordinate with the Highway 10 Subcommittee at key points during the study.
