"It is not our intention to discuss the lease proposal this
evening, but rather to give you a progress report on our
analysis of the City Manager's report in accordance with the
understanding at last week's meeting.
I am informed that a preliminary review of the report relating
to our proposal to lease the City's electric and gas systems
indicates results that are quite different from those that
are shown in that report. This might be because of the
misinterpretation of the P.G. & E. lease proposal as a result
of our failure to fully explain its provisions.
