attended.
Mr. Charney commented that if the City sets the fees for physicals and asks
other physicians if they will perform the service at that fee it would eliminate
the conflict of interest problem for Dr. Clark. Mr. Charney also suggested we
might pay a physician of the employee's choice up to the amount set for the
other physicians.

them to adopt and place it on the July 21st agenda for approval.
