WHEREAS, the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission and the West Mississippi
Watershed Management Commission (collectively, the “Requesting WMOs”) have undertaken a process
to review and amend as needed their boundaries with neighboring watersheds in accordance with the
requirements of Minnesota Statutes, section 103B.215 (“Act”); and
WHEREAS, the Act requires the Requesting WMOs to include with their petition for a watershed
boundary change to the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources “a written statement of
concurrence in the petition from the governing body of each statutory or home rule charter city and
town and each watershed management organization having jurisdiction over the territory proposed to
be added or transferred.”; and
WHEREAS, the Requesting WMOs prepared and provided maps showing the proposed boundary
changes (“Boundary Change Maps”), which are incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the boundary changes identified in the Boundary Change Maps were developed
using updated hydrologic information, which more accurately reflect the hydrologic boundaries. Thus,
the City Council determines it is appropriate to issue a written statement of concurrence to change the
boundaries as reflected in the Boundary Change Maps submitted by the Requesting WMOs.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA, that:
1. The city concurs with the boundary changes proposed by the Requesting WMOs and as
reflected in the Boundary Change Maps.
2. The City Clerk shall forward this Resolution to the Requesting WMOs, which shall serve
as the city’s written statement of concurrence with the proposed boundary change.
APPROVED by the City Council on this 14th day of March, 2023.
