4. Approval of minutes and motions
a. Minutes and motions for the regular meeting on January 27, 2011 were reviewed. The minutes were approved with the following changes. Richard Walsh requested that Item 5a. should read “12/17/2010 letter from Attorney D’Aquila; Item 5a. add “Attorney D’Aquila also stated Margaret Faber was in fact elected on May 17, 2006 as “Vice Chair/Clerk” of the Commission”; and Item 5b. - regarding the referencing of two letters from Ms. Faber, it is referenced in three places that she was elected to the position of Clerk and Vice Chair. Mr. Walsh noted that Ms. Faber should be referenced as Vice Chair/Clerk. All five commissioners agreed to the changes without a motion.
5. Correspondence –
a. Letter from Margaret Faber dated 2/1/11 – Ms. Faber requested that her position be referenced as “Vice Chair/Clerk” in the “Old Business” section of the 5/17/2006 meeting minutes. Mr. Royster stated that he felt additional changes are unwarranted. Mr. Walsh stated that he felt the MHHDC was asked to review the 5/17/2006 minutes and it found that Ms. Faber received the title “Vice Chair/Clerk” a single role. Mr. Walsh further advised that he felt the amended minutes should reflect the language as it originally appears and that this is a reasonable request from Ms. Faber to amend the January 27, 2011 minutes. Richard Walsh made a motion to amend the minutes of the 5/17/2006 meeting to
reflect Ms. Faber’s position as “Vice Chair/Clerk” striking all references to “Clerk”. The motion was seconded by Colleen Mellen. Motion Carried 4-1-0 (Mr. Royster opposed).
