I. Minutes were corrected in Section If to read: "Fifteen members were
chosen." and Mike Powers name was added to the list of individuals
to whom thanks was given to.
II. Sam Blanco introduced the guest speaker, Lew Wymisner,from Larimer
County Employment and Training Services. Lew gave us information on Latimer
County employment statistics and potential labor force. For example:
> Fort Collins has the second highest educated population on the front
range after Boulder. However, wage scales are far lower than in other
cities.
> To attract industry there must be a supply of trained labor force in
the city.
III. Police Sub -Committee will meet on its own before the next meeting.
IV. EEO Sub -Committee
The letter which the EEO sub -committee wishes to send to the City Manager
was discussed at length by the Human Relations Commission. It was decided
that the second half of the letter will be dropped and Jaime will update
the figures.
