Administrative Hearings for the purpose of considering amendments to the system statement.
The request shall be made by the unit within 60 days after receipt of the system statement and

amendments to the system statement. If no request for a hearing is received by the council within
60 days, the statement shall be final.

technical and professional services of the office of dispute resolution for the purpose of evaluating
disputes of fact. The proceedings shall not be deemed a contested case. Within 30 days after the
hearing, the committee or hearing examiner shall report to the council respecting the proposed
amendments to the system statements. The report shall contain findings of fact, conclusions, and
recommendations and shall apportion the costs of the proceedings among the parties.
Subd. 3. Final determination. Within 30 days of receipt of the report, the council, by
