of using a standing Committee, and have an ad hoc committee appointed each year to
handle distributing grant money. The Committee discussed the need to handle excessive
absences and Mr. Johnson's request for restructuring. The Committee decided to put
CARAC as the primary topic on the next agenda and invite CARAC members to come
and provide input.
Commissioner Norris agreed to contact both City Attorney Durden regarding the process
for removing a member due to absences and Mr. Curtis for his input. She asked the
BMRC members to review the CARAC information on the City's website prior to the
