The City is now two years past the original September 2008 Metropolitan Council deadline. As <br />of two weeks ago, there were 166 cities, out of 184, that have approved their comprehensive plans. <br /> <br />Murphy asked whether Gaffron felt the process was rushed. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated in his view it was not. <br /> <br />McMillan noted there were two aspects to the Comprehensive Plan process and that while the City’s <br />process was slower, she has heard some comments from the public that the public comment portion of it <br />was rushed. McMillan indicated she also feels the public comment portion of it seemed rushed. <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Murphy stated he attended the celebration at the Harvest Moon store, which was well attended, and that it <br />is a beginning for new business in the collective communities of Orono and Long Lake. <br /> <br />McMillan suggested the work session be cancelled tomorrow night given the recent death of Mayor <br />White’s mother. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the City Council to cancel the September 14th City Council work session. <br /> <br />Franchot commented he has been impressed with the work by Ron Olson on the City’s financials over the <br />past few months. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT <br /> <br />*6.
