<br />~. .. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />SUMMARY AND NEXT STEP <br />Brad Scheib summarized what was revealed by the exercise. Most of the groups were in <br />agreement regarding the ideas they liked. The environmental protection idea was the <br />only idea that revealed split preference. The next step in the process is for the consultants <br />to summarize this meeting and condense the ideas into one concept that best represents a <br />shared vision for the future community. The concepts and results from the exercise will <br />be presented to the various boards and commission over the next few months and a rough <br />draft of the plan is anticipated to be available by the end of June at which time a public <br />hearing will be had to review the plan. When the plan is completed it will be sent to <br />adjacent communities for comment and review. Brad indicated that no dates have been <br />established for the future meetings but participants were encouraged to follow the local <br />newspaper and city newsletter for future meeting dates. <br /> <br />CLOSING COMMENTS <br />A participant inquired as to how existing roadways would be treated under the plan and <br />how the maintenance and improvement of existing roadways would get done while trying <br />to achieve the ideas within the plan. Brad indicated that the plan will establish criteria for <br />roadways including maintenance and that future funding will be set out in the Capital <br />Improvement Program prepared by the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec thanked the participants for coming out and provided a brief update to <br />current activities in town including the Highway 47 project. <br /> <br />Brad indicated that there will be a meeting to focus on the Mississippi River Corridor <br />which will result in a plan for the Mississippi National River Recreation Area, and <br />incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan. Brad encouraged everyone to attend this <br />meeting on April 30th at Ramsey Elementary School. <br /> <br />Brad also indicated that the concepts will be on display at City Hall for viewing since not <br />all participants were able to attend the meeting. The display will only last for two weeks. <br /> <br />Following some closing comments by the participants the meeting was adjourned around <br />9:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Concept Review Session <br /> <br />Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc <br /> <br />Page 60f6 <br />
