City Attorney Hawkins verified that was correct. 325 326 Community Development Director Grochala asked if adopting the roll would limit the City Council's 327 right to make modifications to the plan. City Attorney Hawkins stated it would not; they could do an 328 amendment at a later date through a similar process as this. 329 330 Councilmember Reinert indicated this was what he was referencing. He asked what other options 331 there may be. Community Development Director Grochala stated there are not many, other than 332 looking for other funding sources. Mayor Bergeson asked if not building the road was an option. 333 Community Development Director Grochala stated it was a consideration. 334 335 Councilmember Carlson asked if they could get the minutes from the Centerville meeting, since 336 Centerville was in the same situation and had approved it.
