• Metropolitan Council Working for the Region, Planning for the Future November 17, 1997 Tom Gamec, Mayor City of Ramsey 15153 Nowthen Boulevard Ramsey, MN 55303 Dear Mayor Gamec: • Our Twin Cities Metropolitan Area is embarking on a critical partnership between local and regional government in land use planning. Metropolitan Area communities have a vital role in this planning process. The update of your local comprehensive plan will further our mutual goals to accommodate future expected growth in the region, redevelop older communities and protect our environment, agricultural land and open space. With approval from the legislature, the Metropolitan Council has been able to provide limited funds for planning grants to many communities, including yours, to help with the costs of updating local comprehensive plans. Your community's chief administrative staff person will be receiving your grant in the next few weeks. While we fully realize that the grant money will only cover a portion of the cost of your local plan development, I hope it will help. As you proceed with the development of your comprehensive plan, I want to let you know that I am very interested in understanding your City's planning goals and objectives. Please call ine if you wish to discuss regional policies that may impact future planning decisions for your community. While I know that your city staff and Metropolitan Council staff, especially our assigned sector representatives, have a great amount of interaction, I want to encourage you to feel free /w r . 1. d you questions nce i g e? n ;1 policies VV to i/ \ /i.1L�V1. n�1 V, �\I1 J \!11{.1.1: � � should have � 1,iVJ.:'., + +U C.V. +..vr" � r o �1 1 1£J s ye during the deliberations of your city's comprehensive plan.
