In the community investment trust fund.

Item three, resolution seven five seven is a resolution authorizing a second amendment to the professional services agreement with resolute law LLC increasing fees by the amount of 100,000 for a total not to exceed 149,000.

All right.

Thank you, Councillor Randorf.

Are there any questions on items two and three?

Um seeing none, we will move on to Councillor Forsman with personnel.

Thank you, President Nephew.

Resolution 753 confirming the appointment of Carrie Peterson as director of the public works and utilities department for the City of Duluth.

All right.

Any questions on item number four?

Seeing none, we will move on to planning and economic development.

Um item number five.

Uh resolution seven six zero, a resolution amending the comprehensive plan of the city of Duluth to reclassify areas of Bex Road land use study area.

Um item number six, resolution seven sixty-one, a resolution amending the comprehensive plan of the city of Duluth to reclassify areas of Leicester Park Golf Course.

Um and if I may, there is an amendment by Councillor Kennedy and I uh to, I'm sorry, Vice President Kennedy and I to bring the land use study back to what the original recommendation was of the working group, um, not the amended version of um what came out of the planning commission as well.

Do I need to read that directly or just move it forward?

Okay.

Are there any questions?

I see uh counselor Forsman.

Thank you, President Nephew.

We have a meeting after this, so I would assume we should probably hold questions for that.

Yep.

Specifically on the topic of this um Lester Park golf course.

I'm just gonna pull this from the consent because I'm sure there'll be a lot of comments on Monday.

Yes, and I think it was also requested by Councilor Desitel to pull that one as well.

Um Counselor Randorf.

Thank you so much, um President Nephew.

Um we did have quite a few questions around this um this amendment, and we're considering creating an additional amendment, but I think maybe we can talk through some of that and see if that is in fact warranted or not.

One of the um one of the questions was when you read it, we do have the strike through that says as amended by the additional recommendations, because we know the spirit of this is we're removing the planning commission's recommendations, but up in E um, do we also need to strike through the rec recommendation that says um uh the land use study recommended that the city evaluate development model or the infrastructure and utility improvements necessary to uh to support development model um uh future developments are funded by the developer?

Do we need to strike out that additional language as well, or does this strikeout cover it so we don't have to worry about that additional strikeout?

President Kennedy, Councilor Randorf.

The reason there is not a strikeout of paragraph E is that paragraph simply provides information of what the planning commission did.

So that's just factual information of the plannings commission action.

So in the motion to amend by striking out the language from the first now, therefore be it resolved by striking out that language.

If the if this council passes the motion to amend on Monday and then passes the amended resolution, that means this council is adopting the land use study as is without the additional recommendation from the planning commission.

Thank you.

All right, uh counselor.

Um thank you, President Kennedy or uh President Nephew and Vice President Kennedy for this amendment.

Um I do want to point out in the the bottom, the second paragraph of the statement of purpose.

Um there is a claim that there were uh there was a vote of five yes and zero nays on the planning commission.

My understanding is that there were three votes, affirmative votes, and two negative votes.

Am I correct in that?

And is can anyone confirm and if so, can we change it?

President nephew, counselor.

Uh the I believe the the process or the how the discussion went at the planning commission was uh the amendment was voted on.

The the vote for the amendment was three to two.

Uh that amended their recommendation and their final recommendation to council passed five to zero.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thank you, Director Van Tetzel.

All right.

Um there any further questions on items five and six, uh, counselor Randor.

Thank you so much, President Nephew.

We mentioned the comprehensive land use uh land use plan.

Um can um and maybe we could save this for the COW at the end, uh, how that relates to this within the context of this particular um uh resolution.

Uh director Van Tassel, you can just nod in this.

Is this correct that we will be discussing all this as part of the committee of the whole, unless you feel like you should come up and chat?

President nephew, counselor Randorf, happy to give a brief overview of that just because there's two land use studies up for approval tonight, and maybe it'll be helpful when you uh it it relates to that how we go about land use studies and what they do is important for both actions, I think.

Um and so I will keep it brief and not give a a full uh comprehensive plan 101.
