<br />and visitors, Staff is proposing that a steering committee be created to help guide the planning <br />process. The steering committee would help select a consultant, review drafts ofthe plan, attend <br />public meetings, reach out to stakeholders, and provide feedback throughout the planning <br />process. Staff envisions a five to seven member temporary cornrnittee that would be comprised <br />of a mix of current EDC members, Planning Commissioners, FP AC members, the City Council, <br />and at least one member ofthe public that is not already on a committee. The cornrnittee would <br />meet periodically throughout the course ofthe planning process. <br /> <br />If the Council prefers not to create a steering cornrnittee, that reference can be removed from the <br />proposed RFP prior to its issuance. If we move forward with a steering cornrnittee, Staff will <br />prepare the necessary documents for creating the cornrnittee. The Council would need to <br />nominate and approve the members of the cornrnittee at a future regular meeting. <br /> <br />The City Attorney has reviewed the RFP. <br /> <br />Proposed Proiect Schedule <br /> <br />Staff anticipates the following planning process schedule: <br /> <br />~ Notification of intent to submit a proposal: February 8, 2008 <br />~ Proposal submission deadline: February 21,2008 <br />~ City selects a consultant: March 10,2008 <br />~ Project is completed: September 30,2008 <br /> <br />A more detailed work plan would be created once a consultant is selected. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />B-2: General Business District Small Area Plan RFP <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Work Session for January 22. 2008 <br /> <br />\lMetro-inet.us\ardenhillsIPlanningICommunity Development\B2 Small Area P!an\012208 ~ CC Report - B-2 RFP Review.doc <br />Page 2 of2 <br />
