RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Receive PCRB Public Report//99-08
ANNUAL REPORT Following discussion, the Board decided to follow the
same format for the upcoming annual report as was
followed in last year's annual report. Bauer reported the
deadline is August 1. P. Farrant and S. Bauer will prepare
a first draft for the July 11 meeting.
VIDEOTAPE S. Bauer presented the concept of possibly developing a
videotape about the PCRB as an education tool. The
video could be shown on the government channel. It
could also be used by anyone (board members or staff) at
presentations. After discussion, the Board directed Bauer
to explore this idea with the City's cable people to see if
they could do it, the cost, timeframe; the Board also
requested that someone from the City be present at the
Board's regular meeting in July or August to discuss this
concept with them.
