that this matter was going to an executive session
and that there would be a decision at the 3.30 listing?
No, that was not the case.
It was announced at the last hearing on January 20th.
It was first going to be voted after the morning session.
After the executive session, that was then delayed until 3.30.
It was then delayed until 9.30 this morning
so that the chair could participate the record was closed the votes were done at the beginning
of the 9 30 session no no and i understand that um it was it was our understanding when we appeared
last week originally it was a 9 30 and then then 3 30 it was our understanding that it would be
voted upon during this session the 3 30 session not the 9 30. well since the record was in any
case would you like the board to revote it now no no no what i'm asking so and again i know this
