He asked about <br /> 38 this. <br /> 39 Commissioner Yuhasz said that he had a discussion with the SWAB Chair and this <br /> 40 board would be more effective if there were elected officials appointed to it. <br /> 41 Chair Pelissier suggested putting this in a category for discussion at a regular meeting. <br /> 42 She suggested putting this in the letter, along with a thank-you for the revised interlocal <br /> 43 agreement. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 4.
