5/23/79 Meeting <br /> MANAGER: I 'm sure because I got word today that HGEA is going along with keeping. it <br /> semiautonomous . <br /> DEPUTY Well , if you read, well if you get back to the minutes, Jack Konno stated the <br /> MANAGER: <br /> employees wanted to be under the administration of the Mayor; then when he <br /> was asked to be very specific as to how many, he couldn't answer that. I <br /> think .he talked about one guy, this one person; but he didn't make a poll <br /> and yet he made a statement like that which we cannot make - it's a gut feeling <br /> • on us ,' but that' s no good.
