"After a Comprehensive Municipal Plan or Section thereof has been recommended by the <br />Planning Agency (the Gem Lake Planning Commission) and a copy filed with the governing body <br />(the Gem Lake City Council), no publicly owned interest in real property within the municipality <br />shall be acquired or disposed of, nor shall any capital improvement be authorized by the <br />municipality or special district or agency thereof or any other political subdivision having <br />jurisdiction within the municipality until after the Planning Agency (City Planning <br />Commission) has reviewed the proposed acquisition, disposal, or capital improvements and <br />reported in writing to the governing body (City Council) or other special district or agency or <br />Political subdivision concerned, its findings as to compliance of the proposed acquisition, disposal <br />or improvement with the Comprehensive Municipal Plan. Failure of the Planning Agency to <br />report on the proposal within 45 days after such a reference, or such other period as may be <br />designated by the governing body (City Council), shall be deemed to have satisfied the <br />requirements of this subdivision. The governing body (City Council) may, by resolution adopted <br />by two-thirds vote, dispense with the requirements of this subdivision when in its judgment it <br />finds that the proposed acquisition or disposal of real property or capital improvement has no <br />relationship to the Comprehensive Municipal Plan.
