[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming they revisit the issue in 20/21, should we expect it to take another year to decide and a few additional  years to fully implement the move of option programs, or should we expect them to fast-track it at that point and both decide and implement in 20/21?[/quote]

Assuming Reed still opens in 21 they have no choice but to address boundaries across the NW sector at that time. Otherwise, Reed would be empty.[/quote]

I guess I was operating under the assumption that they may adjust boundaries before they get around to shuffling the option programs, hence the announcement that they’re currently moving forward only with boundary changes.[/quote]

I don't think the boundary process for this fall is likely to change very much from the original plan. I think they will redraw the entire county for both Fleet and Reed now, but will implement those boundary changes in two shifts, one for 19/20 and the other for for 21/22. And as laid out in the current schedule, they will probably take another look at the second planned boundary shift in 2020 to see if any tweaks need to be made based on updated data for 21/22.

If the whole thing proves to be truly untenable, then we probably see them reopen the location review before Reed opens and it's possible some planning units move twice in the span of a few years, even though that's something they try to avoid as a matter of policy. If they can make it work, they probably won't bring it up again until 2023 when they're due for another boundary consideration.[/quote]
