mission in reference to liason with the State Human Rights Commission on
Golden Valley complaints. Problems of approach and enforcement of human
rights matters were discussed. No action was taken.
Advisory Board Ordinance:
The Council discussed the Advisory Board Ordinance and reviewed the com-
ments of the various boards and commissions. With general agreement of
those present, the Manager was asked to redraft the ordinance covering
the following items:
3 - In Section 170:02, the heading would remain; however,
the duties and responsibilities would be those as out-
lined in A - F by the Human Rights Commission. Rather
than make reference to Resolution No. 68, the Manager
was going to check on whether it would be just as well
to reiterate the public policy contained in Resolution
No. 68.
2 - The Council agreed that provision should be made for a
Golden Valley Building Review Board, consisting of six
(6) members.
3 - It was agreed that the Park and Recreation Board should
be nine (9) members.
4 - It was agreed that the matter of being named a board or
commission had no practical effect and we should concur
in the desire of the Planning and Human Rights to be
called "commissions".
5 - It was also a concensus that three-year terms should be
used with one-third of an advisory group appointed each
year.
