I do want to again set some of the basic ground rules for today's discussion and meeting which is I 'd like to keep it as open as possible, I 'd like to have a free flow of discussion and at some point in time, when I feel that the discussion has been adequate that we will then look for specific recommendations from any member of this body. Okay, I do especially want to make sure that all of us understand that we speak with regard specifically to the Charter and the contents thereof and. nothing else because of the Sunshine Law you know, we don't want to get involved in talking about things we are not supposed to be speaking of. Okay, I hope that all of us have had some time to think about some of these things and consider some of the ramifications and I 'm sure there are still some questions in our minds and in some of the areas that we may not be clear with. So again, I 'd like to open this meeting by referring to page 18 of the Charter, Article VIII , Department of Water Supply, and Section 8-1 to Section 8-5.
