Dear Laura,

I received an emailed acknowledgement that you received my below request for information.  Since I have not yet heard from you, please consider this my official PDA request.  I will therefore appreciate a response from the City within the legally-mandated five-day period.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Dear Laura

A question rose recently re the status of the LID 97-1 mandated, compensatory wetlands.  Because I had no solid recall on this, I did a search of my website (believe it or not!), and located the city's proposed action (below) but no action was taken at that meeting, nor have any apparent subsequent actions occurred.

Can you (or others at city hall) give me an update on the status?

Thanks,
Loretta (360-793-6683)
