Land-Use Report
Jim Heuer reported on HB2007 that he described as having morphed into an onerous bill with various amendments. The bill now appears no longer to be about affordability.

Dean had previously suggested $2000 for a legal review.
There was a motion for Steve and Jim Heuer to write a letter opposing HB2007 on behalf of ICA. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
