some for the June budget review.

recommendations at this time.

to serve until 1986 and three members to be appointed to serve until
1988 . Also that if four meetings are missed in one year, that it
is an automatic resignation unless excused by the Chairman. Also
to be included in this ordinance would be that if a- person on this
