Carey said he would add an additional three members from the public.  Carey stated that he had already received requests from the public to be on this proposed task force.  So, he is now looking for a fair way to select those three through a drawing.

Carey said the duration of the task force would be one-year, with the first meeting this fall.  Carey has previously stated that he would like to have the task force study the information obtained during the recent discussion into future governance and ownership.  Another goal of the task force would be to consider the creation of a commission.
