Council picks Olsen to lead year‑long comprehensive plan process
Summary
Council selected planning firm Olsen (with the optional Sharon Woods engagement service) to write the city's comprehensive plan and directed staff to enter contract negotiations; council members cited Olsen's community‑engagement approach.
After presentations from finalist firms, the council voted to select Olsen to prepare a new comprehensive plan and authorized staff to negotiate a contract that will include the optional Sharon Woods community engagement module. Council members praised both finalist firms but said Olsen's community engagement approach and references gave the firm an edge.
Council and staff said the comprehensive‑plan process will span more than a year, require a steering committee and active public participation, and include phased payment scheduling. Staff will return to council with a proposed contract and a timeline for forming a steering committee and initiating public outreach.
