make oral presen tat Ions to the board Access to this board is almost zero he said Written do not carry the same weight as oral ones in the opinion of those who wanted to make presentations and the board refusal to hear them was very frustrating It also frustrating to hear board chairman Arlene Bruce say we were the pigs in prepar the consolidation study We don appreciate that like to see the board go back and do it all again right Mr Sheldon advised the people of Burlington and who are Just beginning a consolidation study In their area to ensure from he outset that the democratic process is followed The process laid down In board policy looks good he said and had the public been informed of what was going on as things happened he doubts the current situation would have developed
