With Jordan slowly growing despite an economic downturn, the city's comprehensive plan drew a crowd to an informational meeting last month.

Mayor Ron Jabs said the meeting at Ridges at Sand Creek restaurant was well attended. He asked for city staff to follow up with the city council so it could address any concerns about the plan, which guides Jordan's growth and ultimately must be approved by the Metropolitan Council.

Copies of the comp plan will be dispersed to councilmembers, and a public hearing will take place June 10, City Planner Joe Janish said.

No audience members came forward to speak at a public hearing in regard to the wellhead protection plan for Jordan's drinking water supply wells.

A public hearing in regard to an increase in liquor license fees did not get finished in time for the 2007 budget.

Although part of the city budget was based on the expectation that income from liquor license fees will increase from $1,450 projected for this year to $2,500 in 2007, the public hearing on the subject was rescheduled for Feb. 5. This change (the meeting was originally scheduled to occur in December) was due to publication requirements, according to a memo from Jordan Finance Director Tom Nikunen.
