North Plains parts with city manager, appoints new councilor amid growth dispute turnover

The North Plains City Council has seen four resignations since last July.

Turnover continued in the small but growing city of North Plains on Monday as the City Council voted to part ways with City Manager Bill Reid and appointed a fifth different person to join the council in less than a year.

The moves come as discussions over growth and expansion of the city's urban growth boundary have soured, turning neighbor against neighbor in a battle over the Washington County community's future.
