REPORT FROM ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ON COMPREHENSIVE METROPOLITAN PLAN, DRAFT RFP AND SCHEDULE Assistant City Manager Stouder presented a request to Council to seek proposals from consultants to develop a new Yakima Metropolitan Comprehensive Plan. The study will include a visioning process to help set goals to guide the future of the metropolitan area. Several factors have driven the City to develop a plan; including recent growth and challenges coming to the urban area, the age of the current land use plan, and the recently passed Washington State Growth Management Act. The proposed Plan will • complement the water and sewer elements that have been developed over the past few years. The four components to be addressed by the plan include .land use, parks and recreation, drainage, and regional transportation. Assistant City Manager Stouder stated the proposal targets a starting date•of September, 1990 to enter into contracts and could be more than a two year process. Council member Barnett asked several questions related to the proposed funding of the concept. Assistant City Manager Stouder explained that until all of the proposals have been reviewed, we will not have a firm idea of the total budget or time schedule. The project cost will also be subject to requirements mandated by Growth Management Act legislation. Council member Barnett asked if Yakima County has agreed to participate in any way in development of this plan since the project encompasses the entire Yakima urban area. Assistant City Manager Stouder indicated that numerous discussions • have been held with the County, but it will be difficult to reach • an agreement until actual cost figures are determined. . However, joint City /County cooperation will continue to be a • priority. If this concept is approved today, City staff plans to return to Council in early September to outline the work program • and budget issues prior to issuance of contracts. Mayor Berndt asked Assistant City Manager Stouder to bring the Council up to date on the visioning process. He stated that the visioning process would be a broadly based, highly involved effort by the community to set goals for the future of Yakima. Those goals would then drive some of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Berndt indicated that plans have been developed to have a small, initial steering committee in place by mid -July. By Fall, a larger - canmittee.of 20 -30 would be in place and ready to interact in the community. Any person interested in serving on the steering committee should contact Mayor Berndt.
