ment whereby Planning Commission would be authorized to use consultants, when
it thinks necessary, to assist in the evaluation of planned developments, the.
cost of'such-consultants being proposed to be paid by' the developer. Mayor ~
Bredesen questioned the ordinance, stating that he has heard complaints that-
plan check charges are high and that this would add one more element of cost
to a man who is trying to do business. Mayoi- Bredesen suggested that the

Commission or the Village staff. Mr. Luce said that he had anticipated that
traffic studies and detailed landscaping studies would be covered under this
ordinance and that the Village did not have personnel to handle kbch Studies".

BY GEORGE ABLAH. Mr. Hyde recalled that the Village had retained Brauer &
Associates to conduct the Southeast Edina Plan Study, cost of which was
recovered in part from some of the land owners involved. Mr. Hyde advised
thgt he had told Mr. Brauer that, while he had complete confidence in Mr.
Brauer's integrity, he felt that a conflict of interest was involved and that
Mr. Brauer should not, therefore, act as a consultant to Mr. Ablah relative to
the Glacier Sand & Gravel property. Following considerable discussion, Codncil-
man Courtney's motion that Council confirm Mr. Hyde's decision was sec6nded by
Councilman Johnson and carried. Councilman Johnson then suggested that a resolu-
tion be drafted for future consideration which would
that once the Village of Edina has hired or retained a professional consultant
for any matter, cause or thing, that consultant cannot thereafter be retained
by another party with respect to the same matter cause or thing.
