t Metropolitan Council Local Planning Handbook 1 Section 1. Metropolitan Planning Overview <br />Local citizens, staff, local officials and other interested parties are <br />welcome to attend meetings of the full Metropolitan Council or of any <br />of the standing committees, including the community development <br />committee. Most presentations and discussion occur at committee <br />meetings. <br />After the Metropolitan Council has taken action on the <br />comprehensive plan update or amendment, the Metropolitan Council <br />will provide written notification of the action. Following this notice, <br />the municipality must take the following steps: <br />• Respond to plan modifications, if applicable <br />• Adopt the comprehensive plan in final form after considering <br />Metropolitan Council review recommendations <br />• Submit one electronic copy and one hard copy of the <br />comprehensive plan update to the Metropolitan Council. The <br />electronic copy is organized as one unified document. For <br />example, "CityName2030CPU.pdf" versus numerous separate <br />files of chapters, figures, and appendices (see Pages 1 -12 and <br />1 -13 for electronic submittal guidelines). <br />Local government Minnesota law requires each local governmental unit to formally <br />adopts the adopt the comprehensive plan, along with any required <br />comprehensive plan modifications, within nine months after the Metropolitan Council's <br />final action. If the Metropolitan Council has recommended changes, <br />the local government should incorporate them into the plan or <br />respond to the Council before the governing body adopts the <br />comprehensive plan. <br />Minn.
