The discussion did not involve hunting, but rather focused on land use planning, urban growth boundaries, and municipal development. The term "permitting" was used specifically in reference to the City of Battleground requesting to annex a 35-acre parcel containing its water reservoirs to improve utility management and permitting efficiencies.

Probably the north, some sections of the south side, we did avoid agriculturally designated areas along that corridor. >> All right, thank you. Commissioner Fadness. >> Yes, Commissioner Fadness, this is a question for the city, but Oliver, you might need to jump in as well.
