A. Annual Report Review—Kevin had prepared a draft of the annual report. The
commission reviewed page by page of the draft and made date and material
changes as needed. Final draft will again be reviewed at the June 3 meeting and be
submitted for printing and distribution.
B. Report on April 29th seminar. Gordy reported that the seminar went smoothly and
seemed to be well received. Attendance was minimal and disappointing. It was
thought by members to be something that might become an annual event. The
seminar was taped by the G.T.N. cable network and will be aired on channel 16 on
Wednesday at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., and on Fridays at 8 p.m. the rest of May.
C. Diversity Award Problems—Elmo presented a"working paper"to help the
committee set up a timeline for contest procedure and who will be responsible. He
will prepare another more specific draft of procedures for the June meeting.
V. New Business:
A. Kevin reported that there would be a public meeting on May 20 regarding nuisance
problems reported by neighbors living across the street from Emma's Place. The
response to this open meeting at this point is not known. The commission will help
sponsor and present a presence and may have to make a statement on how we want
to help support and present a better understanding of Emma's Place to the
community.
