Councilwoman Shaw moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda and carried to authorize the City Manager to sign this waiver. SCAG GROWTH PROJECTIONS After Council discussion of Councilwoman Hein's proposed draft to SCAG regarding 82C growth projections for RSA 19, it was the consensus that she should make a verbal report in lieu of sending a letter on this matter.
