Subject: [Oama] Flexable language for each agenda item/Eufaula
Fellow Attorneys:
Since the Oklahoma Supreme Court decision, which caused us to put some flexible language in each agenda item (Approve, disapprove, modify, etc.), I am wondering if some of you have suggested language that you think would cover any situation that you can share.
I assist several Towns and Water boards and it seems like we are all using slightly different language. I am in search of one line that covers any possible situation.
Do any of you have the words table or strike among your choices?
Thank you,
Kay Wall
