COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN
SPECIAL MEETING: 6:00 PM, MAY 31, 1994
Present: Carolyn Duff, Audrey Faulkner, Lu Fisk, Stevie Honaker,
Doreen Kemp, Stephanie Lane, Sally Miles, Chris Wood
Absent: Amy Beuschlein, Sue Cottingham, Dana Hiatt, Lynne Warner,
PURPOSE:
This special meeting was called so members could decide whether or
not the information contained in the Fort Collins Task Force Report
on Women's Issues published in 1986 should be updated and a new
report printed.
Audrey and Lu each met with Mayor Ann Azari and Council Member Gina
Janett, during their Commission re -appointment interviews. During
the interview, discussion included the work of the Economic Task
Force and the statistical information which is being compiled on
the economic status of women in Fort Collins. Both the Mayor and
Gina Janett were in support of updating this information and
suggested the Commission think about updating the entire report.
The Mayor advised Audrey that if the Commission decides to update
the report and needs funding a request must be submitted to Council
by June 1. This request would then be handled with the 1995 Budget
process.
Members discussed their willingness to make the time commitment
necessary for this project, and the resources needed. Audrey
stated she would like to develop a strategy so the community would
have ownership in the project.
After discussion, it was moved, seconded and passed that the
Commission would update the Fort Collins Task Force Report on
Women's Issues. (Members not in attendance were polled prior to
the meeting.)
ACTION:
New members appointed in early June will receive a copy of the 1986
Task Force Report and current members will explain the project to
these new members at the June meeting.
The July commission meeting will be devoted to discussion of this
project. Members should all read their copy of the 1986 Task Force
Report and be prepared to make suggestions on areas to be included
and which community groups should be asked to participate.
Because several members have conflicts with the regularly scheduled
July meeting, it may be moved to a different day.
ADJOURN:
Meeting. adjourned 7:15 p.m.
