The Edmonds City Council will meet at 6 p.m. Monday night to continue its closed record review of a citizens’ group appeal to a planned residential development in Southwest Edmonds.

The council began the hearing during last Tuesday night’s meeting, but decided late in the evening to continue it to 6 p.m. Monday after councilmembers agreed they still had far too many unanswered questions. You can read the background on what happened at last week’s meeting here.

On Tuesday night, the Council will honor long-time Councilmember Michael Plunkett with a reception from 5:30-6:30 p.m.,  followed by a brief business meeting and a two-hour Edmonds Strategic Plan & Visioning Retreat with the City’s Planning Board
and Economic Development Commission. You can access the documents that will be discussed at the retreat — the fifth one in the strategic planning process — on the city’s website (look for strategic plan information in the middle of the home page).

Following the strategic plan discussion, the council will consider a request to authorize design services for the Main Street Improvement Project and will hear the city’s 2012 first-quarter financials.

Both meetings will be in the council chambers, 250 5th Ave. N.
