Harry Edwards thanked all members for their participation on the Board. He's enjoyed his time
as Chair and he looks forward to the remainder of his term serving as a non -officer. Glenn
thanked Harry for his leadership and service.
Glenn noted there were a number of citizen complaints in 2008 related to the Brew Fest. This
year's event is slated for June 27 and 28 and he wondered if it would be useful for CRB
members to walk along with officers. Lt. Dodd said he'd check on logistics and would return
with information for those that wish to participate. Greg Tempel noted that if a member should
witness an altercation for which a complaint is later filed, they would probably need to recuse
themselves from serving on that subcommittee.
Glenn asked Lt. Dodd to facilitate a Ride Along for any CRB member who might be interested.
