council has decided to look into this issue further and we will also bring you more about the fluoride wouldn't necessarily say have any of the answers but there's certainly some good points that were brought up and what occurred to me as these two gentlemen were speaking is that i believe the county has a director of public health or a doctor that we employ in the county level  that kind of guides us through i guess a public health concerns and i was wondering if maybe we could invite them down to speak or at least provide some put to the council on the current you know their current opinion i
