Humanities Proposal Ms. Davisson reported on the work that she and Ms. Schlereth have been doing on getting people scheduled to take part in the four workshop -discussions -planned for March -June. A number of people from various groups within the areas have been contacted and interviewed by Ms. Davisson and Ms. Schlereth, and some very interesting questions were being raised, but Ms. Davisson stated that she would like to get more of the Commission members involved in going out and talking with some of these people, both to educate the residents of the neighborhoods and to educate the Commission members on the desires and needs of the residents. Ms. Schlereth began to outline the programs and participants. Mrs. Price'voiced some concern over the people that were being asked to participate, the boundaries of the W. Washington district, and whether or not the Commission should be getting involved in the social problems of these_ areas. An extended discussion ensued. Mr. Smith suggested that Ms. Price meet with Ms. Davisson and Ms. Schlereth sometime during the next week to offer suggestions of possible participants that had not yet been considered. Standards Mr. Smith stated that this had been considered during the discussion with Mr. Dunfee. Appointments Mr. Rothermel reported that he had been reappointed for a three year term. Ms. Schlereth reported that no word had been received from the County Council as to their appointment. Their secretary reported that their records showed Mr. Stivers serving out a two-year appointment, and that Mr. Paszek's replacement would be for the three-year term. Mr. Oxian moved that the Commission go before the County Council and talk about these appointments and the need to have an active replacement for Mr. Paszek. Ms. Sporleder seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
