State water program reorganization project

The Water Agency Reorganization Plan is part of the Omnibus Agriculture and Environment funding act of the 2001 Special Session. This provision directs the Office of Strategic and Long-Range Planning (Minnesota Planning) to develop and present to the Legislature a plan to reorganize state water programs and functions. The Water Resources Committee of the Environmental Quality Board will direct development of the plan.

From policy to reality: model ordinances for sustainable development,

Minnesota Statutes, Section 4A.07(3) directs Minnesota Planning to prepare a model ordinance in consultation with appropriate parties to guide sustainable development. To help meet this mandate, Minnesota Planning engaged a wide range of local and state interests in discussions about possible ordinance topics and contracted with Biko Associates to develop model ordinances on selected topics.
