discuss that Public Outreach should be an ongoing effort once the Plan is approved and implemented. Following Council approval of the Plan, Staff will implement the Plan and will make it readily available to the public via the City website, and will publicize this in the next edition of the Ramsey Resident. Staff will also develop and discuss a public outreach plan with the Public Works Committee this winter, at which time adjustments can be made as necessary. Notification: Notifications are not required for this case. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: It is important to note that the City must have an adopted ADA Transition Plan before it can accept any new federal funds. This Plan must therefore be adopted by the City Council before any new federal grants can be accepted for any projects including the Mississippi Skyway and any proposed Highway 10 improvements. It is also important to note that while the ADA Transition Plan summarizes, evaluates, and prioritizes ADA related public improvements in specific areas of the City over time, the Plan does not directly plan for the completion of individual projects on a set schedule. Rather, it sets goals for improving the accessibility of pedestrian facilities within the City of Ramsey's jurisdiction over a specified period of time. Individual improvement projects intended to meet these goals will still be outlined in the City's Capital Improvement Plan and must be approved by the City Council on a project -by -project basis. No such projects exist within the 2019 CIP therefore the ADA Transition Plan has no budgetary impacts for 2019. Alternatives: Alternative #1 — Motion to adopt Resolution #18-173 approving the City of Ramsey's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan. Funding Source: Staff completed the ADA Transition Plan as part of its normal duties. The Plan does not carry any budgetary impacts through 2019. Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative # 1 to allow City Staff to continue applying for federal grant dollars to construct any number of City improvement projects. The Public Works Committee reviewed the draft ADA Transition Plan at their regular meeting on July 17, 2018, and recommended City Council approval. It should be noted that the Committee did inquire whether the ADA Transition Plan was in agreement with any proposed improvements identified within the Parks Improvement Plan. Upon checking, it was determined that the Parks Plan included no proposed ADA related improvements. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #18-173 approving the City of Ramsey's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan.
