fellow council members

1. frankly, i wish that this e-mail had been sent earlier so that the
members of the council could have had adequate time for consultation with
their constituancies. as it is currently , i believe that these issues are
best dealt with as a "sign on" on the minority view report by the various
constituancies.

2. it would be best to address each issue seperately in any minority view
comments to the board. there may very well be one issue that some
constituancy may endorse while not endorsing the other..(or vice versa)
