<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=035304623-04112009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I think I caused some confusion by the approach I
used. The just approved Council Operating Procedures recommend no meetings
from 11 pm to 6 am. Assuming that 11 pm to 12 am and 5 am to 6 am were not
quite as bad as other times in that range, I treated them differently (yellow
shading). The yellow and red shading combined cover the full range from 11
pm to 6 am. Does that make sense?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Thanks Chuck.

<DIV>I have made a couple of edits to your spreadsheet (there were a couple of
examples of wrong colour code use in columns 2 and 3.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Overall, I would suggest not alternating between 2 sets of options but
going with the (simpler IMO) 3-way rotation. Doing so would mean we first
settle on a preference between option 1 and 4. As you suggest you would prefer
option 4 to option 1 (which is just crazy to me as I would rather work late
than early, so it really is a case of personal preference here), perhaps we
can go with that one.</DIV>

<DIV>What do others think?</DIV>
