Motion carried, all Council members <br />present voting aye except Mr. Hamel, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Obie <br />voting no. <br /> <br />Regarding Ms. Batori's comments, Mr. Bradley felt that it would not be appro- <br />priate for her to speak negatively about an applicant. Ms. Batori commented <br />that the Commission would welcome diversity. She said they can work with <br />anyone, but are concerned that the person be in support of what the Commission <br />is trying to do. She felt Council members should decide whether a candidate <br />will be able to work on all the Commission's issues. She hopes that anyone <br />appointed would have a keen awareness of the ways in which women have been <br />discriminated against and would support women's rights. <br /> <br />Votes were cast to fill the vacancy on the Women's Commission; <br />Linda Wilson was appointed, Eric Haws, Scott Lieuallen, Betty <br />Smith, Jack Delay, and Ray Bradley voting for Linda Wilson, <br />and Tom Williams, Brian Obie; and Bill Hamel, voting for <br />Doris Storms. <br /> <br />1/11/78--1 <br /> <br />18 <br />
