Metropolitan Council’s Public Comment Portal Webinar Now Posted
Last week, Metropolitan Council staff hosted a webinar that demonstrated how to access and use its public comment portal for Imagine 2050, which contains the regional development guide and policies. Metropolitan Council staff highlighted key policy areas during the webinar. To access the webinar, click HERE and go to the “Learn More” section.
Metro Cities staff is currently reviewing the guide and policy plans and will provide formal comments to the Metropolitan Council this fall.
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Opening
Metro Cities is seeking interested applicants for a municipal opening on the Metropolitan Council’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) that advises the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB). Appointees must be department head level city staff with an engineering, planning or public works background. Priority is placed on balance with respect to city size and geography. The Board also gives preference to those who agree to serve on Metro Cities’ Transportation Policy Committee.
The deadline to apply is Friday, September 27, 2024. Interested candidates should submit a letter of interest and resume to Jennifer Dorn at [email protected].
Please contact Mike Lund, at [email protected] or Patricia Nauman at [email protected] with any questions.
Third Legislative Policy Committee Meetings Next Week
Next week marks the third and final round of Metro Cities legislative policy committees for this year. Please note that the Municipal Revenues and Metropolitan Agencies committees completed their work and will not hold third meetings. The Transportation and General Government Committee meets Monday morning at 9:00 am, and the Housing and Economic Development Committee meets Wednesday at 1:00 pm. Questions?
