Two alternative leasing plans for government property at Marmet and London dams were decided after a conference between Oswald Ryan and Attorney General Howard B. Lee.

The council was abolished in August during a special session. The argument contends the pay cut is unconstitutional as it targets the board by title. If granted, the board would resume functions.
