Town Proposal with Modifications / Notes by Jim
Hase, Kevin Carr and Bill Rose
Nick Sanders
9/15/2016
Council & Directors, I started with the latest ILA proposed by the Town to the MUD document,
which was a Change Tracking Version that shows the changes in Blue Text which is
Underlined. These are Town proposed changes suggested prior to any MUD changes. From
that point I turned Change Tracking Off and entered Text in Red Color that are the proposed
changes/notes from Jim Hase and Kevin Carr. I sent this version to Kevin and asked him to
check it for accuracy. He reported back to me as “it was good” and that he had some other
suggestions which he would bring up at our Joint Meeting.
From that point I began to make changes which are in Black Text in Italic and Underlined that
are Bill Rose’s notes and proposed changes. In some cases they are just notes.
My plan is to use this document as a “road map” (so to speak) to guide us through our meeting.
I would suggest you print out a copy in color which may help while we move through the
document on Monday.
