<br />The creation of a regional development commission does not affect the
<br />rights of counties or cities to conduct their own planning activities. Instead,
<br />regional development commissions are designed to support planning for
<br />cities. Cities may request that a regional commission review, comment, and
<br />provide advisory recommendations on local plans or development proposals.
<br />VII. Training and resources for planning
<br />commission members
<br />Planning commission members perform a vital role for their community.
<br />Training materials and seminars can increase the effectiveness of city
<br />planning commissioners and are essential for protecting the city's legal
<br />interests.
<br />The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust has a Land Use Loss
<br />Control Program to assist members through phone consultations and online
<br />training In addition, the Land Use Loss Control Program has extensive
<br />written materials available at no cost to members.
<br />Additional training and materials may also be obtained from private vendors
<br />such as:
<br />• Government Training Services (GTS).
<br />• The American Planning Association.
