Administrator's Information/Westonka <br />Beautification Dated 12/6/88 <br />B. Westonka Chamber Consultant Selection Dated <br />11/9/88 <br />ISSUE - <br />1. Determination as to whether the Council wants to contribute <br />money to the beautification plan. <br />2. Determination as to what role the Council would like in <br />development and selection of a plan. <br />INTRODUCTION - As noted in Attachment A the Westonka <br />Beautification, of which John Gernhardson has been a member, has <br />desired to undertake development of a master plan for <br />beautification on County Road 15 between County 19 in Orono <br />through Spring Park to County Road 110 in Mound. <br />DISUCSSION - As noted in Attachment A the Ad Hoc group of the <br />Westonka Chamber is seeking funding from each of the three cities <br />to pay for the cost of developing a master plan. The request is <br />noted on Attachment B is for $1,350 from'each of the three <br />communities. <br />In addition the Chamber is looking for the desired input the <br />Council would like to have regarding this plan. At present they <br />are proposing the following inputs: <br />1. General meeting available to all members in the <br />Westonka area including the Council for ideas for <br />beautification. This meeting is to be held with the <br />consultant and members of the committee. <br />2. Once a plan has been developed a two week advance <br />notice of this plan to the Councils and other interested <br />parties to be reviewed and chosen at the Westonka <br />Chamber's general meeting. <br />In addition Council may choose to review that plan in advance of <br />its adoption by the Westonka group, if the present process is <br />agreed to. It is anticipated this would be a presentation <br />probably by Orono staff regarding the plan. Should the Council <br />desire further input or meetings with the consultant on the <br />matter, this could be arranged for on a negotiated cost basis
