Catherine,
Nice job of summarizing the meeting, especially with the number of people speaking at one time. There are a couple
of items I would like to correct however. In the paragraph above the motion on page 6, on line 3, the $2,600 figure
should be approximately $1,600 (as the total grant amount was $2,600('on line 6 of that same paragraph, the
$2,000 figure should be approximately $1,000 and the $2,600 should be $1,600. At the end of that paragraph,
August 25 should be 20. Lastly, on the final page, under Staff Comments, the City Commission should be the
Human Resources Department. Again, nice job. Thanks, Ed
