something.
Mr. Mayor: We have a motion that’s been made and properly seconded. Commissioner
Williams.
Mr. Williams: I need to know whether we can get the EEO Director to come into legal
because I’ve got some personnel issues I need to talk about with her and the attorney, but I want
to make sure that she’s included in the meeting.
Mr. Mayor: Well, let’s address the issue that the attorney’s brought before us that he did
the special called legal meeting for and then you can bring up your issue there and we’ll see if
we need to bring her in for that.
Mr. Williams: I don’t understand.
Mr. Mayor: I think there’s a specific issue that the attorney and that the Law Department
call the legal meeting for, an employee issue, so I’m saying let’s address that issue first and then
–

Mr. Williams: Oh, absolutely, no problem. I just want to make sure that my legal issue
