Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 26, 2009 Page 22 Mr. Trudgeon noted that adoption of the Plan, as well as the Tier II Sewer Plan, was the requested action based on outdated State Statute from the 1960's, when those documents were separate rather than combined documents. Mr. Trudgeon recognized the group efforts of staff, members of the Steering Committee, and thanked them once again for the many hours spent meeting, de- liberating and finding consensus on more difficult areas of the Plan and finding areas for compromise when required. Mr. Trudgeon also expressed appreciation to City of Roseville Economic Development Associate Jamie Radel for her untir- ing efforts as staff liaison, and her work to ensure property information and con- sistency was provided in the final document. Roe moved, Johnson seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10759 entitled, "Final Adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Tier II Comprehensive Sewer Plan;" identified as Attachment F to the Request for Council Action dated Octo- ber 26, 2009. Councilmember Roe spoke in wholehearted support of the motion; and echoed those comments of Mr. Trudgeon in expressing appreciation to all serving on the Steering Committee and those members of the public who participated, some who are no longer with us. Councilmember Roe noted his pride in the finished prod- uct; and the compromises reached throughout the process to move the process forward through many contentious issues. Councilmember Roe noted that, while issues may remain that needed resolution in the future, the final document points the City in the right direction and provides an opportunity for the Planning Com- mission, City Council, staff, and the community to make further decisions. Councilmember Ihlan spoke against the motion, primarily due to the lack of com- pletion by the City Council in the work they promised to do prior to this requested approval, namely review of the numerous Master Plans included in the previous Comprehensive Plan, and which needed to be included and/or excluded from the updated Plan. Councilmember Ihlan opined that those Master Plans provided guiding documents for development and redevelopment in various neighbor- hoods, including the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area, and represented hundreds of taxpayer dollars and time spent by consultants and staff and had been taken se- riously by the community. Councilmember Ihlan noted that those Master Plans had been subject to super majority vote of past City Councils to provide that credibility, and were significant enough to be included in the previous Compre- hensive Plan. Councilmember Ihlan referenced contentious votes alluded to by Councilmember Roe; opining that one of those was alast-minute vote by the Steering Committee to remove those Master Plans from the Comprehensive Plan Update document; with the condition that the City Council would decide the future of each of those Master Plans prior to adoption of this updated Plan. Councilmember Ihlan noted
