In the interim, what we have tried to do is to satisfy ourselves certainly that we have explored every option, at least as reasonable as we feel we can. And I know that you (Steve) and Tom especially have been doing a lot of work all along, but especially in the last couple of weeks. We have all had a chance to view the premises and walk the land. We certainly want to have the Peirces and Merkels have an opportunity to have their say tonight. Mr. Mark Mackert is here from Whitehaven and I am glad that he has shown up. And anyone else who has comment, I think it would be helpful first, if we would try to have our engineers lay out as best as they can: 1) what it is we have to decide tonight in their estimation; and why, how we have gotten to the point where we have. I think it is necessary to reiterate at least the milestones of the effort that has gone on from initial studies in this area up to the specific program we are dealing with tonight. Mr. Hovancsek: Thank you very much, Mayor. The Master Drainage Study for Mayfield Village was authorized to be done by Burgess & Niple to do in September of 1988.
