Next Steps Staff is currently tallying the comments received both in written form and the question and answer portion of the meetings. A "frequently-asked-questions" newsletter will be prepared and distributed in follow up to the comments, in addition to direct follow up with those that requested it. A summary of comments will be provided the Task Force for its August 13`h meeting. The primary focus of the August 13 Task Force meeting will be to re-examine the Highway 10 options as directed by the City Council, and for follow up at the Council's August 20`'' work session. Upon the Council's preliminary agreement regarding Highway 10 within the Plan, the public participation process will continue with a series of community open houses and City board and commission review and input over the months of September-October. The Task Force will review and consider all of the input gathered during the public participation phase at its meetings in October-November for refinement of the Plan and a final recommendation to the HRA and City Council for Plan adoption in December January. Additional information about the background, planning process, upcoming meetings and a copy of the draft plan are all available on the city website at www.ci.elk-river.mn.us.
