Woods Playground is almost done. It is expected to be done some time this

begin to secure permits and a band. If you are interested in volunteering to
help, let us know.

possible) in the Council Chamber at 123-5th Avenue. REQUEST: Threshold
Determination for 10 private amendment requests to determine if the City should
further study the requests to amend the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code and/or
Zoning Map with the annual City update of the Comprehensive Plan rather than
with the applicable neighborhood plan update.
