Mr. M. Williams: I think that would be basically every time because it really states
personnel. All those three things does come up every time and if you leave one out, then you
can’t discuss it so I think that would be basic.

Mr. Smith: That’s right.
Mr. M. Williams: My legal opinion.
Mr. Smith: Your legal opinion. There you go. We like that.
Mr. Lockett and Mr. Guilfoyle out.
Motion carries 8-0.
Mr. Smith: Okay.
