CHAIR: It is... I've got 10:24 and a half, we'll start the meeting now. The public has no
statements as evidenced by the lack of public. We have the minutes of
September 10th, 2003 Regular Session and Executive Session before us. What
is your pleasure?
SC: I make a motion to accept and file the minutes of the September 10th Regular
Session.
RW: I second.
CHAIR: It's been moved and seconded. All in favor say aye.
SC: Aye.
RW: Aye.

PC: There's no Executive minutes.
SC: There was no Executive Session, right?
BLT: Executive Session for this meeting.
CHAIR: No, no. For last meeting. There was none. Okay. That's fine. It's on the
record here. Okay. I will entertain a motion to go into Executive Session.

SC: Second.
i
CHAIR: It's moved and seconded. All in favor.
SC: Aye.
RW: Aye.
CHAIR: Aye.
Executive Session 10:25 a.m.
Returned to Regular Session 10:26 a.m.
CHAIR: On the agenda we have no other item, however there was some concern about
holding a meeting merely for one financial disclosure. It is my belief that this is
non - economical for the county and that we shall scratch it. Any discussion on
that?
RW: I agree.
SC.. I also agree. If there's nothing else.
CHAIR: There's no... there's no motion here or not. We're just talking about whether
we...
BLT: I think what we can do is, if we don't have anything substantive in terms of
Petitions that are being filed and if it's just something like a financial disclosure,
then what we can do is... call the Chair, let him know and if there isn't anything
substantive, what we can do is cancel the regular meeting.
RW: Good idea.
BLT: Instead of having everybody come in. Particularly if you look at the Financial
Disclosure that we did look at today. There's no red flags, there's nothing that
should show concern. And really nothing's critical about reviewing it
immediately.
SC.. Okay. Will there be a notice in the paper then, stating that there won't be a
meeting, for the public to know?
BLT: Yeah. We'll do some kind of notice of cancellation. Because it doesn't make
sense... if there isn't really a reason for you folks to come in and deliberate.
`Cause it's a long way for you to drive and interrupt your schedules. You have
other obligations and you really are doing this as a service to the County. And
it seems to me that we ought to have some sort of relationship to what we have
in terms of an agenda as to whether it's necessary to have a meeting.
CHAIR: Okay. Thank you and now I'll entertain a motion to adjourn.
Pa
RW: I make a motion to adjourn.
SC.. Second.
CHAIR: All in favor?
SC: Aye.
RW: Aye.
CHAIR: Aye. We are adjourned.
(Meeting adjourned at 10:30 a.m.)
Respectfully submitted,
Paulette Cainglit
