Commissioners Piulle and Moran <br /> will attend the March 26 meeting and bring back information to the <br /> Commission. <br /> M/S Fischer/Redington: To send a letter stating that the Cultural <br /> Commissioners understand their job description <br /> to be such and that they have not been included <br /> in the loop to help made decisions regarding City <br /> buildings, and that we really want to be included <br /> in the City Hall process. Letter to be sent to Mayor, <br /> City Manager, Community Development Director, <br /> and Planning Department. <br /> Motion passed. <br /> Commissioner Redington agreed to contact new Community Development <br /> Director Deborah Nelson and speak to her about the Cultural Commission. <br /> It was suggested that perhaps Ms. Nelson be invited to a Commission <br /> meeting so the Commissioners could meet her. <br />
