want? You want this for water or you want this for your sewage <br /> treatment plant? And the mayor says, well, I got priorities. <br /> But , again, like the (inaudible) out , it ' s like the County <br /> agencies are competing within us. . .within themselves and. . . <br /> Certainly , but I say that could happen. But there is a mechanism <br /> where it can be prevented and at least resolved. <br /> The third line , department agencies authorized by County <br /> Code and state statutes.
