OBLIGATIONS

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: needed to have more public meetings that
anticipated, followed by a few task force meetings, struggling with the many different interests
of the community and trying to work those interests out to a good compromise for all.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it is appropriate to request from the
Metropolitan 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center that:
1. The City Manager is directed to submit to the Metropolitan Council no later than
November 1, 2008, an application requesting an extension to May 29, 2009.

2. The City Manager must include with the request a reasonably detailed timetable and
plan for completing: (a) the review and amendment by May 29, 2009; and (b) the
review and amendment of the City's fiscal devices and official controls.
