Commissioner Gustaveson stated that he did not believe this would be sufficient time for an in-dept discussion, that another time might be better. Commissioner Whitted stated that he felt the Board should decide among themselves as to what they wanted and use Commissioner Gustaveson's three-point feasibility suggestion as a starter.
