The statute was amended in 1995 to require that <br />the local units of government submit a copy of their local water management plan to the <br />Metropolitan Council concurrently with submission to the watershed management organization. <br />Minnesota Statutes 103B.235, subd. 3 requires the Council to submit its comments on the local. <br />plan to the watershed management organization and the watershed management organization to <br />take into account comments submitted by the Council before approving the local water <br />management plan. <br />Few cities_seem to know that they should submit their plans to the Council for revietiv, even <br />though all of them were notified by the Council. The Council would greatly appreciate it if your <br />organization would either notify us when a local unit of government has submitted its local water <br />management plan for review, or remind the local unit of government of its responsibility to <br />submit the plan to the Council at the time it is submitted to the watershed management <br />organization. <br />Thank you for your assistance in this matter. if you have any questions about this, please call me <br />at 602-1145 or call Judy Sventek at 602-1156. <br />Sincerely,/ <br />/ •~ ~ ~ <br />Marcel Jouseau ~/~ <br />Manager, MCES, Water Resources Management Technical Services <br />MJ:js <br />cc: Tom Caswell, Metropolitan Council Sector Representative <br />Carl Schenk, Metropolitan Council Sector Representative <br />Richard Thompson, Metropolitan Council Sector Representative <br />Guy Peterson, Metropolitan Council Sector Representative <br />230 East Fifth Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-1633 (612) 222-8423 Fax 229-2183 TDD/TIT 229-3760 <br />An Equal Opportiutity Employer <br />
