As you know, our official responsibilities continue even in such times. Under the Code of Iowa, it is the duty of the three of us to decide whether to fill the vacancy by appointment or hold a special election. Since the three of us now comprise the membership of a statutory committee and since two make a majority, we cannot discuss filling the vacancy with each other except in open meeting after the posting of an agenda. Therefore I have taken the liberty of preparing an agenda listing likely topics of discussion and an �other� category and tentatively reserving a conference room, HHS 202A, for 2:00 p.m. Thursday, September 24th for the purpose of familiarizing ourselves with the options before us and the task ahead. I know, Kim, you are out of town until Thursday and I have not spoken with you. If you are unable to meet at that time, we can cancel the meeting and reschedule at a time when you are available.
