There were some updates to the language, mainly to include the County in the Growth Management Policy. The maps have been updated as well. The County has already adopted the Growth Management Policy. There will be one small change made to the maps prior to next week's public hearing. The maps show that the City adopted the right of way down to Riverside Park. The City only annexed the park itself into the City. That City limits boundary will be corrected. The Council has three options before it: to approve, to deny, or to send back to the City/County Planning Board for further consideration.

That change will be made during the land use plan process. The Planning Director briefly reviewed the changes that SB382 will have on the City. 4. Resolution - Prosecutor Contract In April, the City went out for an RFP for the City Prosecutor. There are two resolutions in the Council's packets. One is non -renewing, and the other is to renew.
