it's been very nice to meet you i'm walter by the way you too i'm sue
perhaps we'll meet later i hope so
has everybody got a copy of the agenda would you mind taking minutes john
oh not at all good well then let's get started
first of all thank you everyone for attending at
short notice as you know the objective of this
meeting of the capital works committee is to discuss a proposal for some urgent
building work at our south side plant as we've got to reach a decision which
may involve spending we'll run it as a formal meeting
now you've read the proposal so without further ado i'd like to open
it up for discussion or perhaps if we can start with you tan
what's your view well i'm not convinced that the work is
as urgent as this report suggests so to sum up i think we are all aware
that some urgent work does need to be done and we will need to work on a
longer term plan for a major refit well
if there's no more discussion we'll put it to a vote
we are recommending that tenders be called for the urgent work needed
all those in favor all those against
