Present upon roll call: Mayor Farley Trustee Clowes Trustee Corcoran Trustee Hendricks Trustee Hoefert Trustee Skowron Trustee Wilks It was noted that the subject Trustee Hendricks wanted to discuss was how the design for the Police and Fire Headquarters facility Dedication Plaque was decided. Specifically, he questioned why Trustee SkOwron's and his name were omitted from the plaque, considering the fact that they were sitting Trustees at the time of the building dedication. He felt that the omission was not conducive to team building among Board members. Mayor Farley responded that the decision had been made as the result of extensive discussions by and between Board members late in the summer of 1991. All incumbent Board members concurred with the Mayor's recollection. Trustee Skowron asked if the discussion had resulted in a written policy statement. If not, then it should be formally adopted as such. Based upon additional discussion, staff was directed to research the issue and provide Board members with any available information as to whose names appear on plaques. Trustee Hendricks indicated that he was not asking that the existing Dedication Plaque be redesigned. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Farley adjourned the meeting at 11:12 P.M.
