WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 requires local governmental units to
review and, if necessary, amend their entire comprehensive plans and their fiscal devices and official
controls at least once every ten years to ensure comprehensive plans conform with metropolitan
system plans and ensure fiscal devices and official controls do not conflict with comprehensive plans
or permit activities that conflict with metropolitan system plans; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes sections 473.858 and 473.864 require local governmental
units to complete their "decennial" reviews by December 31, 2008; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 authorizes the Metropolitan Council to grant
extensions to local governmental units to allow local governmental units additional time within which
to complete the "decennial" review and amendments; and
WHEREAS, any extensions granted by the Metropolitan Council must include a timetable and
plan for completing the review and amendment; and
WHEREAS, the City will not be able to complete its "decennial" review by December 31,
2008, for the following reasons: staff workloads, several topical and area plans in progress.

Council an extension so the City can have additional time to complete and submit to the
Metropolitan Council for review an updated comprehensive plan and amend its fiscal devices and
official controls.
