. 3. A resolution to the problems with the plan ::::} Ideally, through the above two steps we may be able to reach a consensus with just the City Council workshop. ::::} However, there may be a need to go out to a public process to reaffirm some of the policy directions. ::::} Outline public input process and desired outcomes. What do we want to learn from the public? Meeting Two: Public meeting or focus group meeting (if needed) Meeting Two will be defined after the conclusion of meeting one. Meeting one will give us a better idea of what the concerns are and the best method to resolving or minimizing the concerns. It will also enable the Council to provide input on the process and objectives of a possible 2nd meeting. Meeting Three: City Council meeting review results of meeting two (if needed) Meeting Three is needed if we have a public meeting or focus group process in order to review the results and draw conclusions from the meeting. This meeting would be intended to make a decision to move forward with the plan with any modifications. THE CONSULTANT ROLE AND FEE The Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. will prepare the presentation for each meeting and will facilitate the meeting in order to achieve the desired objectives. City staffs responsibility will be to serve as moderator (in order to keep the meeting on track and progressing), provide photocopies of handout materials if needed and to take minutes at the meeting. There are a large number of unknowns in this process such as the length of each meeting and the number of meetings needed to name a few. Therefore, HKGi proposes to work with the City of Ramsey on an hourly fee basis at the rates indicated on the attached fee schedule. We anticipate that our role would not exceed a total fee range of $2,000 to $3,000 that would include meeting preparation, attendance and summary for 3 meetings. The personnel from HKGi who will participate in the meetings will be Mark Koegler, RLA, President ofHKGi and Brad Scheib, AICP, Planner. City o( Ramsey Date:-.:J.j &/9..9 Date: - 2-
