The power of the Programming Council to overrule the Program Director has already leaped to the top of the discussion. And, though a few people have expressed a willingness to be candidates, none have yet come forward from the Second District.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv1819256275yui_3_16_0_1_1420751037386_5908"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv1819256275yui_3_16_0_1_1420751037386_6560">I am told that Lauren's restaurant in Boonville is a good place to meet. We need a place that could accommodate five or a few dozen, as it's hard to know how many will attend. And having food and drink together is always good. I suggest Saturday, January 17, 1:00pm, as a good time. Any weekday evening might also work, the goal being to maximize participation. We could also consider a second meeting in Ukiah the following week, especially if no candidate from that area has emerged by then.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv1819256275yui_3_16_0_1_1420751037386_6561"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv1819256275yui_3_16_0_1_1420751037386_6562">I have copied below some proposed changes that I posted last month.
