IMPLEMENTING DEVELOPMENT FRAI4EWORK POLICY 19B In the past, the Metropolitan Council has designated active recreation projects (e.g., ballfields) that were located in the Rural Service Area outside Rural Centers (see Appendix 3 for map of Rural Service Area and Rural Centers). This practice was done to assure that funding a specific public service {in this case, recreation) was consistent with the orderly and efficient provision of all public services based on Development Framework Policy 19b. For FY '85 applications, the Council will discourage, but not disqualify, active recreation projects by ranking them below others lOcated in Rural Centers, Freestanding Growth Centers or the Urban Service Area as depicted in Appendix 3. The DEED retains the right to change the ranking of these projects --thus allowing them to get a grant. The Council can challenge that change before the Legislative CommissiOn on Minnesota Resources (LCMR) which will decide whether a grant should be awarded.
