City Council Work Session Meeting Monday, March 19, 2018 Page 21 Councilmember Laliberte suggested that if someone has thoughts on those issues, he or she can weigh in as an individual without the HRIEC taking that on. The Commission is trying to get a good handle on its own work plan. Ms. Perdu added that there is nothing that would prevent the Finance Commission from pulling out the implementation matrix and taking an in-depth look at it after it is sent out for adjacent community review. That section can be used as a work plan that can be revisited often. Councilmember Laliberte asked about holding a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to discuss any issues they feel did not make it into the Comp Plan. Councilmember Etten responded that he believes those pieces have been fleshed out, as the Planning Commission has been digging through this very extensively. Mayor Roe noted there will be the annual joint meeting this summer, and this top- ic can be discussed at that point. Ms. Perdu summarized the "What We Heard" section will be expanded, the mar- gins will be evaluated, along with the map sizes and presentations. Mayor Roe noted the size of the map depends upon the type of detail that is in the maps. With the transportation and land use maps, anything where it has to show fine detail should be 11" x 17". Broader city-wide trends do not have to be that size, as long as the text and the key are big enough to read. Councilmember McGehee stated she does use this document regularly, and if she needs the maps bigger, she can go online. The Council discussed the various formatting preferences, including colors of lines, margins, and sizes of maps for printing and viewing online, text size. 8. Council & City Manager Communications, Reports, and Announcements Councilmember Laliberte reported on the recent Metro Cities board meeting. She noted that Metro Cities put together a work group to look at livable communities for the purpose of helping communities obtain Met Council funding, and a report will be issued. Additionally, she reported that the Met Council has placed a six- month freeze on Comp Plan amendments with this year's schedule. There was a lot of concern by cities about projects in the pipeline and sitting on those for six months. There does not appear to be a desire by Met Council to change the new six-month parameter. Councilmember Etten asked about the hotel/motel analysis that has been removed from the future agenda item list.
