Without improvements to the road shoulders, it may be difficult to provide safe service stops with a bus along this road.

PLANNING BOUNDARY CHANGES The Planning Boundary(or future annexation boundary)is shown on the Joint Planning Area Lard Use Plan(Attachment 9),and is referred to in the Joint Planning Agreemem.. The present process for char= the boundary would be to change the line on the Land Use Plan. This could be accomplished following a Joist Public Hearing(with the three elected bodies)and a subsequent approval individually by each of the ttiree elected boards. We believe that conducting an election,with preparation,distribution,and casting,of ballots,would be problematic. ' Infa®al, balloting would not provide reliable results, and a f xtual bbxHng referendum pooceu with the standard controls as normally conducted by the Board of Elections would be expensive,cumbe--..;-and may not be a legal option. We suggest instead following the typical process for Baia m public opinion about an issue:conduct a public hearing or forum, well publicized,giving opportuaW for Wdivid»alsto come and express dicir opinions before our elected boards,who-would th udw all comments into consideration before making a decision. 12.
