In the event that labor negotiations and <br />related ratification procedures are still ongoing, the Bill may be requested to be continued to a later <br />date, to protect the integrity of the entire negotiating process. Thank you. <br />Mo sincerely, <br />thleen Cekanskl Farrand <br />Council's Agent <br />Attachment <br />
