City Manager Jack Dorman defends local strides, noting harbor regulation work and the interlocal water plan as positives, but warns deadlines may be impractical. The DCA will issue quarterly updates and may designate the area as Area of Critical State Concern in spring 1986.

Shahid challenges a city parking ordinance as unconstitutional claiming 400 foot off site parking requirements unfairly affect owners unable to secure distant land. He seeks court review of another clause demanding one space per 200 square feet of gross floor area and asserts storage and stairwell spaces should not count toward requirements.
