O’HARA: Okay. Should this go to operations though? MS. NICHOLSON: We can give it to operations and they can do that. Or we can just say let’s just put that in our recommendations -that the county continue to enforce and update its internet use policy. And that way it’s taken care of. Is that what we want to do–just move it forward into the draft report as that is the recommendation, and then we’ll figure out where to put it later on. MS. O’HARA: Okay, that’s a good recommendation. MS. GARSON: Okay, so let me make sure we get this wording right. So, the recommendation that is going to be put on the draft report is – 26
