Thank you for the update, Olof. This is helpful information. As I "count" 15 days, it seems to me that we would have an Issues Report, on Feb. 1. Does that agree with your planned schedule? I could be off by a day or two. :-) Everyone on the Council knows that I a) can't count b) Can't read a map and c) can't figure out time zones. So, I acknowledge in asking that I may be off by a day or two. For the new councilors, it's a standing joke. Alas, but oh, so true. Well, re the map business, anyway. Some days we just need a bit of humor.
