The request shalJ outline the need for the amendment as well as additional materials that the City will need to consider before making its decisioIL Staff Review A decision is made to the validity of the request. Three options exist; 1. reject the amendment 2. accept the amendment as a minor issue, with minor issues collectively added to the plan at a later date 3. accept the amendment as a major issue, with major issues requiring an immediate amendment. In acting on an amendment request, staff shall recommend to City council whether or not a public hearing is warranted. Council Consideration The amendment and the need for a public hearing shall be considered at a regular or special Council meeting. Staff recommendations should also be considered before decisions on appropriate action(s) are made. Public Hearing, Council, and RCWD Approval This step allows the public input based on the public sentiment. Council shall determine when the public hearing should occur in the process. Based on the Public hearing, Council could approve the amendment, and, if necessary, refer the amendments to the Watershed District Board for comment and approval. Council Adoption Final action on an amendment following approval by the RCWD is Council adoption. However, prior to the adoption, an additional public hearing could be held to review the plan changes and to notify the appropriate stakeholders. Annual Report to Council A brief annual report should be made by City staff summarizing development changes, capital improvements and other water management-related issues that have occurred over the past year. The review should also include an update on available funding sources for water resource issues. Grant programs are especially important to review since they may change annually. These changes do not necessarily require individual amendments. The reports can, however, be considered when the plan is brought up to date. The report should be completed by June 1st of each year to allow implementation items to be considered in the normal budget process. Copies of the report should be filed with the RCWD. The annual update can also serve as an important public information tool. A summary could be published in the City's newsletter. City of Arden Hills.
