The Open Meetings Act basically just has--the public has to have notice of generally
what's going to be on the agenda. So, I'm just saying if we are going--we have not
done that in the past. But, if the Council does not object we just need to make sure we
are careful next time we post something. The Open Meetings act does not have a set
