Mr. Hanson explained the membership requirements for the Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory
Committee have changed by resolution since our last meeting. He explained that there is no longer
a requirement to have the Teen Council or Teen Advisory member be a member of CARAC. He
explained the letter he wrote to Lori Gaglione, Chairman of the CARAC, asking for an opinion
from the Committee on whether the vacancy on the CARAC should be filled by the (future) Teen
Council Advisor or by a regular citizen member. Mr. Hanson explained that the CARAC has not
met since the letter was written so no opinion has been obtained.
