approved. Please submit three certified copies of the officially adopted ordinance and the Ordinance
Certification Checklist(copy enclosed)to the Central Region Office.
We remain available to assist the city with implementation and enforcement af the ordinance.As
required by your ordinance,notices of all hearings and notices of decisions for variances,conditional
uses,and amendments in shoreland areas must be submitted to the Department. These should be sent
