State law also <br /> requires that communities submit their updated comprehensive plan to the Council three years <br /> from the date this material is received. <br /> The documents comprise your"system statement,"which shows how changes in the Council's <br /> regional system plans for transportation,water resources management and regional parks <br /> specifically affect your community.The system statements contain: <br /> • Key changes in transportation, aviation,water resources and parks policy plans. <br /> • System plan considerations affecting your community. <br /> • Forecasts at densities to help achieve regional policy goals. <br /> The complete text of the Council's regional plans,our new Local Planning Handbook and other <br /> helpful materials can be found on line at <br /> htti)://www.metrocouncil.org/planning/framework/timeline.htm. Paper copies are available by <br /> calling the Council's Data Center at 651-602-1140. <br /> The Council will hold a series of outreach meetings in October to assist communities with <br /> questions regarding system statements and comprehensive plan updates(see enclosed schedule). <br /> You can also contact the Council sector representative who's assigned to work with your <br /> community with any questions(see enclosed map with contact information). <br /> We recognize that updating your comprehensive plan will require considerable time and effort. <br /> At the same time,we believe it is a valuable opportunity for local officials,community leaders <br /> and concerned citizens to take stock of where you are as a community, what your neighbors are <br /> doing and how your local plans fit into those of the region. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> —JLA—a� <br /> Tom Weaver <br /> Regional Administrator <br /> www.metrocouncii.org Metro Info Line 602-1888 <br /> 230 East Fifth Street • St.Paul,Minnesota 55101-1626 • (651)602-1000 • Fax 602-1550 • TTY 291-0904 <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
