COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROCESS

couple of updates. Member Fischer presented to the City Council his proposed additions to the
Comprehensive Plan process, noting the desire to make the process a bridge from Edina's Strategic Vision to
the updated Comprehensive Plan. The proposed process would include "Big Idea" workshops at the beginning
of the process, incorporate an Edina VISION workshop that would bring the consultant team, the
Comprehensive Plan Leaders, the Chamber, the School District, and the City Council at the midpoint and
result in a better Comprehensive Plan. Staff and Council discussed the proposal and the Council indicated
their consensus to incorporate Member Fischer's ideas into the process.
