Committee that they will meet with Planning and Zoning at the October 4th

Mayor Neuhauser noted the recommendations from the Human Rights
Comm.: 1) It is appropriate to ask the Committee on Community Needs
applicants questions regarding their background which would help the City
Council appoint residents who represent various segments of our
community. The Human Rights Commission recommends the appropriate
vehicle be developed to ask such questions, noting that at the top of the
document it should clearly state that the information is being requested
for the sole purpose of making the CCN representative of the community and
the group(s) which it serves. 2) HRC recommends that as the meeting rooms ,
within the Civic Center, with the Council Chambers being the one
exception, are inaccessible to the handicapped, that all meetings of
boards, commissions, and departments that are open to the public, be held
in places accessible to the handicapped and that a memo to this effect be
sent to all City boards, commissions and departments. Neuhauser commented
on discussion at the informal session. If the meeti,ngs move to the
Library and Recreation Center, it will usurp use by others. Council has
discussed this issue previously, and when the Civic Center is remodeled,
