City Administrator Update <br /> <br />The City Administrator indicated that the selection process for the PUD <br />Consultants by the City will begin shortly. He indicated that he has <br />received comments from the Planning Commission that they strongly desire <br />to be involved in the selection process. He suggested to the City <br />Council that possibly the Planning Commission could interview the <br />consultants and make a recommendation for hiring to the City Council. He <br />informed the Council that the Park Commission selected their consultant <br />and this is one of the reasons that the Planning Commission feels they <br />should be allowed to be involved in the selection process. <br /> <br />Mayor Tra11e indicated that he had no problem with allowing the Planning <br />Commission to be involved in the selection process as long as the City <br />staff and legal counsel will also be involved. <br /> <br />Counci1member Kropuenske stated that at the 10/30/89 meeting with the <br />Planning Commission. their scope of duties should be discussed. He <br />indicated that he has been receiving feedback regarding certain Planning <br />Commission decisions which should not be involved in the process. such as <br />selection of different types of trees to be planted. Counci1member <br />Kropuenske indicated that he would not feel comfortable having just the <br />Planning Commission interview the consultants and would rather see the <br />Council involved in the process. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Counci1member Dobe1 arrived at this time. 9:37 p.m. <br /> <br />Counci1member Holmgren felt that just because the Park Commission <br />selected their consultant does not mean that it is appropriate for other <br />organizations to do the same. <br /> <br />After discussion regarding this item. it was the consensus of the City <br />Council that the PUD consultants be interviewed by two Planning <br />Commission representatives and two Council representatives. which would <br />be Counci1member Kropuenske and Counci1member Schuldt. and further that <br />staff be present during the interviews. <br /> <br />9. Other Business <br /> <br />Mayor Tra11e indicated that he has been receiving some calls in the <br />Grandview subdivision which is located west of the City regarding the <br />proposed sewer and water project to go out in that area. He indicated <br />that people are concerned regarding this matter and that they would like <br />to be informed of what is taking place. Mayor Tra11e indicated that he <br />would like to set up a neighborhood meeting for anybody residing in the <br />western area of the City to inform them of the progress that is taking <br />place regarding the sewer and water project and how this will affect them <br />as residents. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mayor Tra11e informed the Council and staff that the upgrade for Highway <br />101 has been included in the 1994 State constuction plan. He stated that <br />this indicates that all efforts have been sucessfu1.however. money still <br />has to be raised for this project. <br />
