Mr. Urhausen raised concern over the Human Rights Commission checking into the jail sentence <br />of an anarchist arrested in the community. He said it was not the purview of the commission to <br />question decisions made by the judiciary. <br /> <br />Mayor Torrey closed the Public Forum. <br /> <br />Councilor Kelly said there was never any discussion among the Human Rights Commission about <br />re-naming the center. He noted that the Hult Center location was where Japanese Americans <br />from the area had gathered before being interned, and that discussion involved adding a memorial <br />somewhere at the Hult Center. <br /> <br />Councilor Pap~ thanked Mr. Guest for bringing national matters to the attention of the council. <br /> <br />Councilor Taylor expressed hope that a plaque or memorial would be placed on the site of the Hult <br />Center as a memorial to interned Japanese Americans. <br /> <br />Councilor Bettman thanked those who spoke. She noted that the Human Rights Commission had <br />compared the sentence of the "anarchist," referred to by Mr. Urhausen, and felt that there was <br />political motivation behind the overly heavy sentence. She said it was an equity issue and had <br />noting to do with taking up the cause of the anarchist. <br /> <br />II.CONSENT CALENDAR <br /> <br /> A.
