III. Old Business
Steve Francis reported he received a letter from the New Creations
Health Club attorney in response to our letter. The letter asks what
actions have taken place or will take place as a result of the letter.
HRC members voted to send a response reminding them that the HRC is
not an administrative body; we are acting in an educational capacity
and we have filed a formal complaint. Moved, seconded, and passed
5-0.
Susan commented that we must concentrate on educating larger populations
and not merely continue to single out individuals for letters.
Susan will check with Steve Roy to be sure that a procedure is in place
for the filing of the complaint forms.
IV. New Business
The HRC voted 5-0 to send Randy's letter expressing dismay over the
low level of funding for human services in the city to City Council.
It was also agreed that we would sign this and similar letters under
the HRC rather than under individual names. This would tend to make
more of an impact it was felt. We will include the phone number of
Employee Development as a contact.
V. Announcements
Jaime announced that Becky O'Donnell will be our new staff liaison.
Jaime will still attend meetings on an occasional basis.
Meetings will now be on the third Wednesday of the month.
Next meeting: March 15, 200 W. Mountain, Suite A
