letter recently received relative to reduction in the
number of lots that U.S. Fish and Wildlife will
require (see attached).
Brian Toland and Michael Bentzien, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife, gave a presentation and responded to
questions from City Council and staff.

to release other areas of scrub in the City and when
they will be released, the procedures and time frame
for developing a Habitat Conservation Plan, sources
of funding for the plan and acquisition of
properties and method of maintaining habitat once in
