Sam Lasris suggested that the board meet <br />immediately after. <br /> <br />Alice Gordon asked if there has been a packet mailed out. Sam Lasris answered <br />that at the March 5th meeting will be a reading of the text. Nancy Cole Baker <br />asked why are they writing this. Jan Grossman stated that the consultant should <br />be reviewing what we write instead of doing the writing. Sandra Quinn stated the <br />consultants have all the comments from the many meetings and they are pulling <br />them together.
