John Link said that 12:00 p.m. tomorrow should reveal a goad indication of where <br />the storm will be going. <br />County Attorney Geof Gledhill said that if the idea of the Board will be to postpone it to <br />another time, then the meeting tonight could be adjourned to a meeting tomorrow so that it can <br />be kept alive without noticing another meeting. The Board could meet by conference call <br />tomorrow at noon, for example. <br />The Board agreed to have a conference call at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow to set a new time <br />and date for the Thursday public hearing. <br />5.
