" . Ms. Smith noted that she has served on this committee for four years. They are working on a more positive note than in the past and they have received more information that the City has not seen before. She would ,- encourage the council to adopt the resoluti~n to make this a permanent committee. She feels the task force work should be reviewed at the end of two years. At that time, it could be continued if it is working well, or changed if it is not. Mr. Lieuallen indicated that he felt good about the process in working with this committee. However, they did not accomplish the specifics which they would have liked. He asked if the committee had designated or sug- gested an AA Officer. He feels many of these items need to be straightened out to avoid future lawsuits. One main difficulty has been recordkeeping and examination of records due to budget restraints. Ms. Smith stated that the chief affirmative action officer is the City Manager who desig- nated the Assistant City Manager to act on his behalf. Mr. Lieuall~n stated that he hopes work on this matter will continue. The Personnel Department will have different priorities than the Human Rights Council and that is a situation that will have to be mediated. Res.
