G <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator . IMW <br /> <br />Karen Barton, Community Development Director ~ u <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Comprehensive Plan Update Consulting Services <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills is required by the Metropolitan Council to update our Comprehensive <br />Plan every ten years. The last plan was completed and approved by the Met Council in 1998, <br />The next update is due at the end of 2008. <br /> <br />Staff has begun the process to update the City's Comprehensive Plan. Due to the scope of this <br />update, staff anticipated the need for a consultant to assist with the preparation of the Plan and <br />budgeted for this in the 2007 budget. <br /> <br />Staff is recommending the City contract with Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. (HKGi) to assist <br />staff in this process. A proposed scope of work and budget are attached for your reference <br />(Exhibits A and B). <br /> <br />As you are aware, HKGi has also been contracted by Ryan Companies to conduct the Master <br />Planning process for the redevelopment of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) <br />and associated Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Since TCAAP will represent a significant <br />portion of the Comprehensive Plan Update, staff determined there would be cost efficiencies in <br />utilizing HKGi's services for our Update, as well. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Work Session <br />March 21, 2007 <br /> <br />\\Metro-inet.us\ardenhills\PlanningICommunity Development\Council Agenda ItemslComprehensive Plan Update Consulting Services <br />032107.doc <br /> <br />Page 1 of2 <br />
