5.07: Consider Response to Draft Metropolitan Council 2020 and 2030 Forecasts <br />Presentation <br />Community Development Director Gladhill presented the Staff Report stating the purpose of this <br />case was to an official response to the draft forecasts for households, population, and <br />employment by the Metropolitan Council for the years 2020 and 2030. <br />Commission Business <br />Brauer believed the numbers were wrong and wanted to see the City question Met <br />Council before accepting the forecasts. However, in the end it was a political decision that would <br />be determined by the City Council. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated there were market fluctuations and the City has <br />questioned the forecasts from 2030 and 2040. The City does not feel there was sufficient capacity <br />to meet the growing needs of the City of Ramsey going into the future. <br />Motion by Chairperson Levine, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to recommend that City <br />Council approve the draft response to the 2020 and 2030 forecasts, with stronger language at the <br />2020 level. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners VanScoy, Bauer, Brauer, Maul, <br />and Nosan. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />
