these types that have folding legs most times do have a locking mechanism that keeps the legs firmly locked in place when extended for use and a release latch to quickly release the legs so you can fold it up and store away safely. that is a stretch, to say the least. i don't think you can even see the mountains from the downtown area. is there a need for the decision-maker to be seen as independent; is it likely that there may be a concern as to bias?
