Preliminary estimates are shared with local governments for <br />review and comment. Final estimates, certified by the Council next month, will be used by the State in <br />determining local government aid (LGA) and local street aid allocations. <br /> <br />Minnesota statutes provide the timeline for estimates delivery and local government review: <br />. The Council is expected to convey preliminary estimates "by June 1 each year." <br />. "A governing body may challenge an estimate made under this section by filing its specific <br />objections in writing with the Metropolitan Council by June 24." <br />. "The Metropolitan Council shall certify the estimates of population and the average household <br />size... by July 15 each year, including any estimates still under objection." (Minn. Stats., revised <br />June 2005, section 473.24) <br /> <br />Accordingly, we are now delivering preliminary April 1, 2005, estimates of population and households in <br />your community: <br />. Centerville is estimated to have 3,848 people and 1,295 households as of April 1 , 2005. <br />Household size averaged 2.97 persons per household. <br />(Note: Household size averages represent persons living in households.) <br /> <br />These estimates are bench marked with demographics from Census 2000. Annual updates reflect <br />residential construction data and other information collected by Metropolitan Council Research. We <br />greatly appreciate the cooperation of the cities and towns in the Council's data collection. <br /> <br />Council staff welcome discussion of the estimates. We have time to consider your comments, provided that you <br />adhere to the timeline: Correspondence introducing specific requests or objections (if any) must be filed with <br />Metropolitan Council Research by June 24, 2006. <br /> <br />Written comments can be sent by mail, to the attention of Todd Graham, Metropolitan Council Research, or by <br />e-mail totodd.qraham@metc.state.mn.us. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~~~ <br /> <br />Todd Graham <br />Research Manager <br /> <br />www.I1letroeoullci!.org Metro Illfo Lille 602-1888 <br /> <br />2:)0 [;;ast Fiflh Stree! .
