"DECENNIAL" REVIEW AND UPDATE OBLIGATIONS
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 requires local governmental units to review and, if
necessary, amend their entire comprehensive plans and their fiscal devices and official controls at least once
every ten years to ensure comprehensive plans conform with metropolitan system plans and ensure fiscal
devices and official controls do not conflict with comprehensive plans; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes sections 473.858 and 473.864 require local governmental units to complete
their "decennial" reviews by December 31, 2018; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 authorizes the Metropolitan Council to grant extensions to
local governmental units to allow local governmental units additional time within which to complete the
"decennial" review and amendments; and
WHEREAS, any extensions granted by the Metropolitan Council must include a timetable and plan for
completing the review and amendment; and
WHEREAS, at its January 10, 2018 meeting the Metropolitan Council authorized its staff to
administratively review and grant extensions if extension requests are submitted by May 31, 2018; and
WHEREAS, extensions for completing decennial updates do not change any due dates for surface water
management plans or water supply plans; and
WHEREAS, the City will not be able to complete its "decennial" review by December 31, 2018 for the
following reasons: 1) Staff workload and 2) Contractor Delays.
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it is appropriate to request from the Metropolitan Council an extension
so the City can have additional time to complete and submit to the Metropolitan Council for review an
updated comprehensive plan and amend its fiscal devices and official controls.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Shorewood as follows:
1. The City Administrator is directed to submit to the Metropolitan Council no later than May 31, 2018 a
letter requesting an extension to June 30, 2019.

completing the review and amendment by June 30, 2019.
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHOREWOOD this 14th day of May,
