ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – MAY 16, 2016 3 <br /> <br />5. City Council selects a consultant and awards the contract. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if staff would be applying for any grants. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff explained there were no grants available to the City of Arden Hills. He <br />indicated staff would continue to monitor the grants available. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes understood the Comprehensive Plan Update was a requirement. <br />However, she believed the Comp Plan was a huge waste of staff time and resources. She <br />supported only the minimum amount of staff time and consultants being used for the update. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung and Councilmember Holden agreed especially given the level of <br />changes that would be coming to the City as TCAAP develops. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff commented that because the City has made many adjustments to the Comp <br />Plan for TCAAP, less work would be required in the end. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher discussed the budgeting process for the Comp <br />Plan. She explained that staff would do as much of the text changes in house as possible, but <br />understood that parts of the Comp Plan would require assistance. She indicated staff would begin <br />a scope of work and would request proposals. Staff would report back to the Council at a future <br />work session meeting. <br />
