E' Attorney Reynolds advised that Commissioner Scurlock, as an individual, can discuss it as any individual can in this meeting. Commissioner Eggert understood then that theoretically he should leave here and go out into the audience and talk to us from the microphone, and Mr. Reynolds responded that, theoretically, that is correct. Commissioner Scurlock understood that he would excuse himself from voting, withdraw from the Board because of the conflict, go out into the audience and address the Board as Doug Scurlock, individual. Attorney Collins concurred with Attorney Reynolds as he felt there is a clear possibility of a conflict if Mr. Scurlock was to vote on the proposed settlement. He also felt that since Mr_ Scurlock has some individual potential liability, he should have his attorney present. He assumed that Mr. Scurlock notified his attorney of the possibility of a meeting this morning. Attorney Reynolds repeated that at mediation, the Scurlock matter was left to its own separate area, and he felt it is in the best interest of the Board to resolve everything at once, but not necessarily everything hinged. In essence, we can agree to send the letter, let Guettler out and us walk, as one vote, but have a separate vote to recommend that we settle to walk away from Doug Scurlock, individually, and he walk away from us. That is only a proposal that Mr. Scurlock would then take to his attorney in his individual capacity. It would not be binding on us here today. Chairman Eggert understood then that if we followed through and accepted this and each pay our own attorneys' fees, Mr. Scurlock can take that away and come back at another public meeting and say that he doesn't agree with that exactly. Attorney Reynolds stated that is correct. Commissioner Scurlock felt he would like to be heard on it in some format. W J U N 2 9 1992
