		<description><![CDATA[Orting Shoreline Master Program: Limited Amendment
Public Comment Requested – April 29, 2013 to May 29, 2013 at 5 p.m.
The Washington Department of Ecology seeks public comment on Orting’s proposed limited amendment to its Shoreline Master Program (SMP).
The proposed amendment revises the existing shoreline program which was comprehensively updated in 2008. If adopted, the amendment would allow the construction of levees, dikes and revetments within wetlands when consistent with an adopted flood hazard management plan.
Ecology will compare Orting’s proposed amendment to the requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and the Shoreline Master Program Guidelines. Based on the comparison, Ecology will decide whether to:
•	Approve the amendment as is or with recommended changes, or
•	Send the proposed amendment back to the City with required changes to meet statutory and rule requirements. Recommended changes may also be included with the required changes.
All of the materials pertaining to the amendment can be downloaded from the following website:  http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/sea/shorelines/smp/mycomments/OrtingLimitedAmendment.html

In addition, printed materials are available for review at the Orting City hall during normal business hours.

		<description><![CDATA[Purchase by March 15 to avoid a late fee.  You may not be aware that all dogs and cats require a license each year (Jan-Dec) if you reside in the City of Orting.  The fees are quite low, but allow the City to provide animal services to the community.  We track lost dogs, and pick up found dogs and house them in our kennel for up to three days.  After three days dogs are taken to the Humane Society.  Having your pet licensed insures that we can return lost pets to their owners promptly.  Dogs that are not claimed and cats that are turned over by citizens to the Tacoma Humane Society (when found at a residence within City limits) cost the City $97 each, for the Humane Society to process the pet and attempt to find it a home.]]></description>
