Respectfully submitted,

On Monday, March 20, ' 2018, City Manager Harold Duffey called me.
..He had talked to Councilman -Ken Henderson and heard from him, that
we were having a problem regarding the Art Show and the "minutes" .
He asked me, what the problem was.
I told him that the February meeting was a short one, with 2 mem-
bers absent, including the Secretary, and one member arriving of
ter the meeting was over, due to a Doctor' s appointment.
At this February meeting we were asked to remove 2 unrelated para-
graphs from the "minutes".
I commented at this meeting that it was my - understanding, that
"minutes" can be amended, but not removed.
Mr. Duffey asked that I tell the Committee that his comments to us
were suggestions only and that it was not his intent to interfere
in any way with our activities.
I told him that I was sure that the Committee would appreciate
hearing this, and that. I would "pass on" his message at our April
9th, meeting.
Over the years, the Historical and Cultural Activities Committee
has had a changing "cast of characters" , but this volunteer group
has continued its activities without interruption, and with no
paid stipend.
From my vantage point, I can say that these are especially accom-
plished volunteers and the City is fortunate, not only to have
them closely involved in our many projects, but also to serve as
recorders of our history and activities!
Please add these comments, verbatum, to the April minutes.
Ann Petta
