I I I Council Meeting Minutes December 22, 1987 Locke reviewed the appraisal process and indicated that no offers for Phase I had yet been made, and indicated appraisals for Phase II would begin as Phase I nears completion. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A CONTRACT FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT WITH BRIGHTON PARK, INC. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Benke stated there are doubts about regional travel forecasts which relate to trip assumptions and updating a data base; be- lieves when the various proposals that have traffic impact are presented, they should be presented with a traffic study that is developed consistent with the process and parameters that have been agreed to by the Metropolitan Council and the Department of Transportation's planning staff. Benke has seen projects proposed where assumptions have been made and variances from those agreed- to parameters have not been documented and justified; and sugges- ted some statements about those expectations be included consis- tent with Metropolitan Council and MN/DOT guidelines and that deviations be documented and justified. Benke noted, because of council IS deferral of the Transportation element, the goal for the completion of the Comprehensive Plan has been delayed. Motion by Benke, seconded by Brandt, to DEFER RECEIPT OF THE TRAN- SPORTATION ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO JANUARY 12, 1987. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried In response to Benke's question, Sinda explained Sumek and Associ- ates' proposal would be tailored to fit the specific needs of the City of New Brighton following interviews with each member of the council, department heads, and city manager. Motion by Benke, seconded by Williams, to UTILIZE SUMEK AND ASSO- CIATES FOR TEAM BUILDING AND STRATEGIC PLANNING CONSULTING SERVI- CES, PAYMENT BASED ON SERVICES RENDERED ON AN HOURLY BASIS; AND SET THE INITIAL TEAM BUILDING AND STRATEGIC PLANNING WORKSHOP FOR FEBRUARY 20 AND 21, 1988. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Benke explained he pulled the proposed resolution authorizing pur- chase of printers and commitment of unused appropriation from the Consent Agenda to speak to the need for the $9,000 for data man- agement. Egan explained the $9,000 was earmarked for software and training in 1987 but staff had an excessive amount of work in 1987 and is, therefore, asking that the dollars be carried over to 1988.
