The license will include Sunday sales and exterior patio area. The Police Department conducted a background investigation and discovered no reason to deny the licenses. The required public hearing has been held. All fees have been paid and proof of insurances provided. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Larson, to ISSUE AN ON-SALE WINE AND A NON-INTOXICATING MALT LIQUOR LICENSE TO JOHN L. MOORE AND LAURA SUBAK, DBA BARLEY JOHN'S BREWPUB VALID TO DECEMBER 31, 1998, FOR THE WINE LICENSE AND MARCH 31, 1999 FOR THE NON- INTOXICATING MALT LIQUOR LICENSE; PROVIDED THAT THEY OBTAIN THE APPROPRIATE STATE LICENSE. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Benke wished Moore and Subak a successful operation. He noted current traffic/parking issues associated with that corner, and the City will work with them on that issue. Community Development Director Kevin Locke presented the revised contract to update the Comprehensive (Comp) Plan and budget amendment. Earlier this year, the City entered into a contract with Hoisington Koegler Group (HKG) to assist in preparation of the Comp Plan with the expectation the City would perform a majority of the project in- house. In August, the City's Senior Planner, Erny Mattila, resigned and staff is now seeking to allow HKG to perform a larger portion of the work. The original expenditure in the 1998 budget was $40,000, and staff proposes a revised estimate of $66,300. The increased budget will be partially offset by the savings from the remainder of Mattila's 1998 salary which would be about $14,500. It is anticipated that the Comp Plan will be completed sometime in July 1999. Benke confirmed that the City is in contact with the Metropolitan Council regarding the completion date changes. Hoffman asked if combining meetings may provide a cost saving opportunity. Locke added that the original proposal included more meetings than the current schedule. If there is opportunity to further reduce the number of meetings, it certainly will be done. Benke asked if update information would be available at the Town Hall meeting. Locke feels the overall plan would not be completed by Spring, but staff would provide a presentation at the Town Hall meeting. Samuelson feels keeping with the original vision by providing community input is important.
