AILEEN LUM: I wish it was that simple. <br /> • PAMELA CUSHNIE: I don't think it is fair to go back to the <br /> Mayor's office and ask for suggestions other than written <br /> testimony we've received. <br /> AILEEN LUM: That does not mean that if you, for example, see <br /> the Mayor on the street that you can't say hello, how are you <br /> doing today. <br /> FRED GIANNINI: No, no, essentially what it is when it comes <br /> to the deliberation on the issue of the charter the issues of <br /> the thing in the charter as far as those go you should be as <br /> independent as possible and again when you have a question <br /> about the legality of your own procedure--the procedures of <br /> your meetings--you should rely on your counsel for that.

Is the administration going <br /> to provide any other services or are they going to be <br /> calculated against that $100,000.00. I'm talking about other <br /> than let's say provision for meeting space and that type of <br /> thing. Has anybody as from the administration's point of <br /> view tried to figure out how that would work? <br /> SUSAN LABRENZ: Okay, to my knowledge we have no other budget <br /> place to take money from (inaudible) cash expenditure now <br /> when you are using a meeting space like this it doesn't cost <br /> money so whenever possible I think you need to meet in our <br /> public spaces and try to schedule it so you can <br /> 11 <br />
