Trustee Thomas stated that Mr. Gozza's termination should
read, "Termination without cause ~ due to a change in the
terms of the contract." Pam Akin indicated that the
termination paperwork would reflect this.
Trustee Thomas suggested that a memo written by
Chairperson Garvey to Mr. Gozza (made a part of these
minutes) referencing the IDA convention, be expunged from
Mr. Gozza's personnel file. Per Pam Akin, personnel
records cannot be expunged. It was recommended that
Mr. Goiza's reply to Chairperson Garvey's memos be made a
part of his personnel file as a rebuttal.
4. New Business
storefront Grant Appeal/Wilson & Gerlach - Dera Kelly,
121 N. Osceola Ave., explained that the Design Committee
had denied a portion of her application for the storefront
grant. Since a representative of the Design Committee
was not in attendance and since the Board of Trustees felt
an appeals rocess procedure needed to be in place, this
item was continued. A motion was made, seconded and
unanimously carried to institute an appeals procedure to
the CRA Board of Trustees. Pam Akin will submit an
appeals procedure to the Board for their review and
approval at the March 18th eRA meeting.
