As you are aware I brought this to your attention during our February 2012 meeting and as promised I wanted to share the draft with you so you can be prepared on May 18<sup>th</sup> to discuss your concerns and recommendations. In addition I am including a flyer about the required Public Hearings that will occur later this month and required anytime a major policy change is recommended. Please feel free to distribute and circulate the public hearing and draft policy information to your networks.
