Grenetta Thomassey, Policy Director for the Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council, prepared a Master Plan review checklist for the City's 2016 Master Plan. This checklist is intended to ensure the document includes critical fresh water resource protections. In the 21st Century, Master Planning by local governments in Northern Michigan must include steps that ensure services and community assets are resilient to extreme weather events and expected impacts from climate change. The checklist covers all of these stated concerns.

The completed checklist is attached for your review. Jennifer will lead a discussion of opportunities to include checklist items in the current Master Plan update.
