1. Call to Order
Mayor Lloyd Hilgart called the special meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
2. CMRP Discussion
Rachel Leonard, City Administrator, gave an update on the status of the Central
Mississippi River Regional Planning Partnership (CMRP). As part of the update, there was
a brief review of how the partnership was established and how it evolved into its
current role.
Currently there are two subcommittees of the CMRP that are meeting. These two
subcommittees are the Technical Advisory Committee and the Policy Advisory
Committee. At present, a Highway 25 Area Pel Study is being completed to narrow a
new bridge location down to three sites.
Recently the CMRP held discussions on transitioning from the current structure of a
Joint Powers Agreement to a non-profit. An executive board would be established. The
final decision on moving to a non-profit will be made at the end of October.
There was no concern or objection by the City Council regarding the CMRP moving to a
non-profit status.
3. Adjournment
By consensus, the meeting was adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
