Council Member Nicol stated the direction at the March 5, 2019 was given to direct staff to accommodate all four programs, using criteria previously agreed upon and review in a year, so based upon that, Council Member Nicol's understanding is that is how the item was voted on, that Alpha is given priority during peak time and United is given priority during off peak time, is this correct Greg?
