RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Resolution. 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. FINANCIAL IMPACT None
