Plan commission recommends MRRPC contract for comprehensive plan update with split payment
Summary
The commission recommended awarding the comprehensive plan update to the Mississippi River Regional Planning Commission for $23,500 and approved paying $10,000 in 2025 and $13,500 in 2026; staff will ask MRRPC if the split is acceptable.
The Galesville City Plan Commission on July 1 recommended contracting with the Mississippi River Regional Planning Commission (MRRPC) to update the city's comprehensive plan. The only proposal received totaled $23,500; the city's current budget includes $10,000 for the project in 2025.
Commissioners discussed the budget shortfall and agreed staff should ask MRRPC whether the firm will accept split payments across 2025 and 2026. Mayor Tom Thatcher moved to recommend approval of the MRRPC proposal and to pay $10,000 this year and $13,500 in 2026; Randy Larson seconded. The motion carried on a recorded tally of Ayes: 6, Nayes: 0.
The motion asks city staff to negotiate and confirm the payment schedule with MRRPC. The commission did not authorize additional expenditures beyond the recommended split; final contracting and payment depend on staff negotiations and any contract approvals required by the city.
