URR negotiations update

Here's a list of references to stories regarding updates on the Urban and Rural Reserves processes. The latest and greatest is a proposal by now President David Bragdon and Metro Councilor Carl Hosticka of Tualatin. Here's a snapshot from their proposal...specific to Cornelius. [I focused in on it].

The result is less than 1/2 what Cornelius originally proposed for...I guess ANY Urban Reserve area is better than NONE AT ALL. The original request asked to boundary the Tualatin to the South... and an imaginary line connecting Verboort Rd (Forest Grove) and Evergreen Rd (Hillsboro) would be it's northern border.
