Thank you for taking the time to meet with me regarding the proposed modifications to the UDC that will
be presented to City Council on Tuesday, September 28. On behalf of the school district, I would request
that the Council proceed with the changes as we discussed in our meeting (and as will be presented to
Council).
I apologize that I cannot be at the Council meeting in person, but I appreciate the efforts on the part of
the City in drafting the UDC.
Sincerely,
