12 Regarding this morning's water supply meeting with state and federal regulators, Mr. Lynch said he was encouraged to find out that Ragged Mountain could be looked at separately from the long-term planning process, and he would like to see us move forward on that. He noted that a pre-application meeting was suggested to discuss specific solutions. Ms. Hamilton said she came away with the strong impressed of being steered by the regulators to the James River pipeline alternative due to the narrow confines of the regulators and stringent regulations. Mr. Lynch said he had a feeling that the steering toward the James River pipeline was coming more from staff than the regulators. Dr. Brown said he came away from the meeting with the same feeling as Ms. Hamilton. He said he thinks it is positive that we can do a 30 versus a 50 year plan and that the pre-application meeting was suggested. OTHER BUSINESS Regarding comments made by Ms. Icenhour, Ms. Hamilton noted that she heard from the public after Route 12 was eliminated, and thinks it would be good to have a public comment period in the future before any routes are changed. Dr. Brown announced that Council will be holding office hours in City Hall beginning on May 4th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on a rotating basis. He said this is a way to get more public input.
