This year's conference is being held in <br />Toronto on April 8, 1995, through April 12, 1995. <br /> <br />The conference typically offers a wide variety of topics covering the entire <br />gamut of planning issues. Some of the topics that will be discussed that could <br />be brought back and applied to Elk River include: <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. Growth Management Strategies <br />. Transportation Planning <br />. Update of Legal Issues <br />. Wetland Protection <br />. Trends in Housing Industry <br />. Computer Applications for Planning <br />. Economic Development <br />. Urban Design Standards <br /> <br />In addition to the conference sessions that are held at the hotel, numerous <br />mobile workshops are offered. These mobile workshops are opportunities to <br />visit developments and experience firsthand the success and/or failures <br />communities have discovered in these particular endeavors. <br /> <br />The 1995 Planning Department Budget, as adopted by the City Council, <br />programmed expenses to cover attendance at a national conference. <br />Obviously, early registration, scheduling a hotel room, and booking air fare <br />in advance will provide the opportunity to obtain the best rates to attend the <br />conference. <br /> <br />In conclusion, I respectfully request the City Council's support to attend the <br />National Planning Conference in Toronto. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />s:planning:conf <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
