HomeMy WebLinkAbout7B - City Council Directives Status Report J, AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: DATE: BACKGROUND: DISCUSSION: STAFF AGENDA REPORT ;~K BOYLES, CITY MANAGEfix.:!;Y 1996 AND FIRST HALF 1997 DIRECTIVES, STATUS JULY 21,1997 In an effort to assure that the City Council's desires are fulfilled, the staff maintains a list of "Directives" for completion. The Council periodically reviews these directives. That is the purpose of this agenda item. In an effort to "close out" the 1996 Directives, a complete list of all 1996 Directives is attached. Those which are shown in bold have changed status from the last time you reviewed them. Three 1996 Directives remain undone. The first is acquisition of property for the second fire station site. An offer is being prepared with the assistance of the City Attorney. I expect that this acquisition should be completed before the end of this year, and hopefully sooner. The second incomplete directive has to do with the revised zoning ordinance. Drafts of the new zoning ordinance are now prepared for distribution. The Planning Commission is in the process of conducting meetings to review its contents. Public Hearings are to be scheduled for August with final adoption by the City Council in October. The third and final incomplete directive has to do with preparing a policy for naming of Parks, Streets, and Public Buildings. At present, we are collecting policies from other metropolitan area communities and expect to provide a Policy Draft to the Council at the September 15 meeting. 1997 Directives to Date are shown on the last three pages. There are numerous items which are in process. If Councilmembers have questions, either about the status of any of the incomplete Directives or their proposed completion date, it would be appropriate to discuss those questions at the Council meeting. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake.
