BACKGROUND
On December 22, 2008, City Council appointed Steven Hudson to the Pueblo Human Relations
Commission (City Appointment) to complete a term expiring on December 31, 2010, subject to
removal as provided by Resolution No. 2644 of the City Council, passed and approved August 24,
1970.
Steven Hudson has absented himself from duly called and noticed consecutive meetings of the
Pueblo Human Relations Commission held on January 7, 2009, February 4, 2009 and March 4,
2009 without excuse. A letter notifying Mr. Hudson that he was officially removed from the
Commission was mailed on March 23. 2009.
Also on December 22, 2008, City Council formalized the appointment of Laura Kelly to the Pueblo
Human Relations Commission (Joint City- County Appointment). Ms. Kelly submitted a letter of
resignation from the Commission on January 14, 2009, creating a vacancy for the term expiring
December 31. 2011.
An advertisement seeking volunteers for a County Appointment and the Joint City- County
Appointment to this board was published in The Pueblo Chieftain by the Pueblo County Clerk's
office on March 1, 2009. In response to their ad, one new application was received from Steven
Rodriguez. Applications from Juan Fleites and Maria Fox were also forwarded to the Board of
County Commissioners for consideration, and the Commissioners, at their Administrative Work
Session on March 30, 2009, chose Steven Rodriguez for the County Appointment and
recommended Juan Fleites for the Joint City- County Appointment.
An advertisement seeking volunteers for a City Appointment to replace Steven Hudson on this
board was published in The Pueblo Chieftain on March 29, 2009, and NO new applications were
received.
Both Juan Fleites and Maria Fox have expressed a desire to have their applications reconsidered
for appointment.
