Due to a lack of a quorum, no official business was transacted at the meeting. The
me'mbers'informally discussed the following items:
The discussion began at 5:45 p.m.
i
,I
I
The first item discussed was the draft of the proposed amended Community Relations
. Ordinance from the summer of 1999. Members had reviewed a copy of this draft in their
agenda packages. Eleanor Breland stated that the proposed ordinance was drafted when it
was an.ticipated that the Department would continue doing contract investigations for HUD
and EEOC, therefore, the ordinance still contained occupational designations for members,
etc., as were required to comply with contracting requirements.
Mr. Reece and Mr. Fry put forward the idea that 5 - 9 members would be a sufficient
number for such a board. Other' members agreed and it was further stated that.
occupational categories would not be needed. Ms. Gulley and Mr. Robinson mentioned
that ideal members would be citizens who were well acquainted with community needs and
concerns and with other citizens in a leadership role. Paul Hartigan stated that it is very
importa'lt that there be Hispanic representation on the. Board. As to the number of
meetings per year, members stated that it would be best to defer that issue until it is
decided exactIY.,w~at the Board's role would be.
The n'ext item discussed was the survey conducted by the Human Relations Department
of other Florida cities in relation to Community Relations Board activities. .' Synopses of
these surveys were included in the agenda packages for the members' review. Kathy Baird
briefly' summarized the survey results. The majority of cities with community relations
boards are EEOC or HUe contract agencies and the boards review cases in the same way
as Clearwater's Board previously did. Two notable exception were Tallahassee and St.
Petersburg. Tallahassee is involved in many proactive community actIvities such as IIDays'
. of Dialogue" and study' circles. Their board assists in the conceptualization and planning
of these events. St. Petersburg, in addition to a board which reviews cases, l1as a "Rapid
Response Team" which helps' advise the city and defuse situations such .as riots, hostage
incidents, etc.
