Diane Murre Murrell Ms. Murrell asked whether the existing GIS elevation model is updated when the ARC GIS is filled in. The General Manager of Public Works and Development will verify whether this is carried out. ___________________________________ C. Bell, Acting Mayor Presiding Member of the Committee
