Video Town Hall Meeting

The Ortonville Comprehensive Plan - A Living Document
The following videos were taken from the January 2008 Town Hall Meeting held at the Community Center. The purpose of this meeting was for the four workgroups to give an overview of their research and implementation recommendations to the community.
(City Council, the Economic Development Authority and the Planning and Zoning Commission worked with the Minnesota Housing Partnership to establish the workgroups for the continued implementation and updating of our Comprehensive Plan.)

The four workgroups and the Town Hall meeting provided the direction that the community wanted to take in addressing the needs and desires of our citizens. With this input, the Planning and Zoning Commission initiated the update of the 2002 Comprehensive Plan.

	The Upper Minnesota Valley Regional Development Commission (UMVRDC) was hired for the assistance in this update.
	April 22, 2008, the Planning & Zoning Commission held another Town Hall meeting for additional input from the community.
	The UMVRDC compiled the input from the Planning Commission and the Town Hall meetings into the first draft of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
	The Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed & finalized the draft.
	September 2, 2008, The Ortonville City Council held a Public Hearing. The UMVRDC provide a summary presentation of the plan allowing for additional input. The Council passed by resolution the 2008 Ortonville Comprehensive Plan.
	The final Plan is now being printed & the EDA will contact the members of the four workgroups to re-engage the groups for a continued Living Document approach to our Comprehensive Plan!
