EFMP. Members of the EPDT will be in attendance to review the report 
and respond to EAS questions and comments. The final report is 
scheduled to be presented to the Council at its June 2010 meeting in

    Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may come before the EAS for discussion, those issues may not be the
