There was a mix-up in the noticing regarding the dates various elements would be discussed and this date was originally set for the housing element. As a result, the Assistant City Attorney has recommended that public testimony can be taken on any portion of the draft at this, and subsequent, meetings. Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler pointed out the differences in the updated land use element: 1} changes in the Land Use Compatibility Matrix to reflect existing conditions; 2) deletion of the Open Space {OS} zone and addi- tion of the Open Space-Resource Management {OS-RM} and Public Facilities {PF) zones which are added to the existing Open Space-Recreation {OS-R} zone; 3} deletion of the Manufacturing Park {MP) zone; 4) establishing the Affordable Housing {AH} overlay; and 5} establishing the Prominent Ridgeline {PR) zone.

MAYOR 26, A) Councilmember Emery reported on the Metropolitan Transit Development Board meeting of July 25, 1991. B) Councllmember Emery expressed concern regarding the cuts being discussed in the Sheriff's special services such as ASTREA and what affect this will have on our contract for law enforcement. City Manager Bowersox stated that the special services are funded through the County's general property tax revenue and a part of the last negotiation for law enforcement contract was a commitment from the county that they would identify those services that benefit contract cities only.

The city mana- gers of contract cities will be recommending a joint study on law enforcement alternatives if the Board of Supervisors does not resolve this issue.
