City planner presents cooperative agreement with county to update joint planning area; city to lead and carry two-thirds of cost share
Summary
City Planner Kristie Schroeder presented a cooperative agreement nearly identical to the 2017 version to update the Sheridan joint planning area; the county approved the agreement last week and the city is expected to issue an RFQ and include funding in the FY27 budget, with an anticipated city cost share of two-thirds and county one-third.
Kristie Schroeder, the city planner, told the Mayor Pro Tem and council that the cooperative agreement to update the Sheridan joint planning area is substantially the same as the 2017 agreement but with updated dates and minor clarifications. She said the county already approved the agreement at its regular meeting last Tuesday and that the city would be the lead agency administering the update.
Schroeder said the agreement outlines a cost-sharing approach: the city would cover roughly two-thirds and the county one-third of the project costs; exact amounts will be determined during consultant selection and appear in the FY27 budget. The next steps are to issue an RFQ to select a consultant (the county will review the proposed firm) and proceed with the contract and public engagement under the cooperative framework.
Council had no substantive questions during the study session; Schroeder said all funding would appear in the FY27 budget and that the city and county might consider coordinating updates to their separate future land-use plans under a shared consultant to save money and reduce public confusion.
