Conference Room 203
Muskegon, Michigan
Tuesday, April 3, 2012

There was not a quorum for the meeting.

ATTENDANCE
Those in attendance were:
Present:             Chris Carter, Virgie Jackson, Tom Pastoor
Excused:             Rosalind Ford, Addie Sanders-Randall, Steve Gawron
Absent:              Lori Duff, Stephanie Marion, Jonathan Phillips
Staff Present:       Oneata Bailey, Liz Parker

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Minutes from the January and February 2012 meetings could not be approved because
there was not a quorum present.

Due to low attendance, the meeting did not take place. Oneata Bailey announced the
2012 – 2013 Action Plan was out for review and public comment. There will be a public
hearing for the Action Plan during the City Commission meeting on April 10. There will
also be another public hearing on Thursday, April 12 at 10am in the Commission
Chambers. She urged those in attendance to come to the meetings and give their
comments.

Liz Parker asked what to do to get CDC members to attend their meetings. The By-
laws state that if a member misses two consecutive meetings without being excused,
that is considered a resignation and a replacement shall be appointed. She noted the
CDC still doesn’t have a full board, let alone trying to get more replacements. Chris
Carter suggested Oneata discuss this with Commissioner Larry Spataro as he is the
chair for the Community Relations Committee. Perhaps a letter from the City
Commission can go out to the CDC members reminding them of their obligation when
they were appointed.

As a quorum did now show, the group left at 6pm.

Respectively submitted,

Liz Parker
