Moorse answered in the <br />negative. <br />Goetten moved, Jabbour seconded, to support efforts to develop performance measures <br />for the delivery of city services, and to authorize the Mayor and one Council member, <br />Jabbour, to sign the LPA certification to indicate the city is in the process of developing <br />and implementing a system of performance measures. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />( #18) HOUSING ACTION PLAN <br />Moorse reported, in agreeing to participate in the Livable Communities Act, a housing <br />action plan is required to be submitted by June 30. The submission would be reviewed <br />and commented on by Met Council staff. <br />Callahan asked what would occur if the plan was not submitted. Moorse said if the City <br />was not a participant in the Livable Communities Program, it would affect the City's <br />eligibility for ISTEA grants. Callahan said he was impressed with the plan as presented. <br />Hurr said she supports the seniors and suggested the church property on Shadywood be <br />• used for such a project. <br />Hurr questioned item #3 regarding the City cooperating with developers. Moorse said <br />the City will support a development if it agrees with the plans presented. Hurr said she <br />was concerned with loan guarantees. Moorse said the language was taken from the <br />comprehensive plan in the code. Council determined to change the wording of the <br />heading from "will" to "may ". <br />Hurr voiced concern with wording regarding the burden of unnecessary zoning under <br />item #4. Hun asked and was informed that there is no minimum house size requirement. <br />Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve the Housing Action Plan with <br />modification of paragraph 3 heading from "will" to "may ". Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />( #19) CLARIFICATION OF WETLAND FILLING AND MITIGATION POLICY <br />Moorse said this question arose from a developer with interest in land on the northwest <br />corner of Willow Drive and Hwy 12. The developer questioned whether the City would <br />allow approximately one acre of city - designated wetlands to be filled. If this would not <br />be allowed, the developer would either drop his plans or change them. If the City would <br />allow such filling, the developer then had additional questions regarding the mitigation <br />• requirements. <br />13 <br />
