Thanks for putting all this up on the website...

I came to the Longmont 'ERC'  meeting last Thursday evening, from
Boulder, with a total of  3 in my car, former Boulder Council member
Sally Martin, and Mariah Conroy.

We were there promptly at 6:30 pm, and left promptly at around 8:30 pm,
at the end of the public hearing, as I recall.

Had I been on my own I might have stayed, but enough was enough.

I trust the 'meat and gravy' as you say it, is in the minutes for the
meeting from that evening.

Bye,  Peter Richards
