Counterpoint Studio proposal given by Director Wooldridge as Counterpoint Studio was unable to attend meeting. Vice Chair Tilos: Confirmed locations. Chair Limoges: Very ethnically diverse community at Lincoln Park and recommends that be reflected. Seems very detailed for a mosaic.

Thanks to Friends of the Parks and Rotary who helped fund it. Met with Assistant City Attorney. He made it clear that Recreation and Parks Commission is an advisory group and not a policy group as she previously believed. He agreed that Commission should be represented equally at the City Council meetings. City Attorney did not agree with by-laws that states Director is the Chief Executive Officer and is willing to work with the Commission on by-laws. Also discussed a 1998 opinion by Attorney General regarding use of public facilities by religious organizations. Provided a copy for the record.
