City Council Minutes of 1/16/2Q07 July in order to effectuate such tests. The test would be performed by Suburban Collision Center as originally required. There was a discussion as to whether or not the same testing facility or entity would be used to conduct the tests. There seems to be some discrepancy as to what Suburban Collision Center may have suggested and agreed to. It seems they originally agreed with the fact that they would use a different testing entity because of the potential conflict with the one that was originally used. Now apparently the committee's understanding may not be the same as theirs. Therefore, Suburban has requested a period of time to go back and determine who might be able to provide such services and at what cost. That information will be communicated back to the committee in writing, so they do not need to appear before the BZD Committee again. The committee seemed to be in agreement with the idea of moving the test further out and not conducting the test in the winter, and specifically with the potential changes and modifications being made by Suburban which were brought forward by an expert that they had retained. The matter remains in BZD Committee. Councilman Orlowski, member of the Intra-Governmental Relations Committee, reported on behalf of Chairperson Ryan: 1) The committee met on January 9, 2407.
