<br />Resident Complaint <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />Carolyn Curti distributed a copy of a letter from a resident who was upset with the way a <br />police officer responded when he stopped her because she had expired license tabs. Chair <br />McKenzie had spoken with the complainant at great length and asked her to put the complaint <br />in writing. She told McKenzie that she wanted an apology and for the police to undergo <br />training about people with Multiple Sclerosis. In the letter, the complainant acknowledged <br />that the officer did not do anything wrong, but that he created such stress and anxiety for her <br />because of her disability. Several Commissioners said that based on her letter, the person was <br />not discriminated against. <br /> <br />Commissioners discussed how to best respond to the letter. One commissioner opined that an <br />apology was not in order because the officer was just doing his job. Another commissioner <br />said the officer gave her a break, having her car towed to the License Center rather than <br />having it impounded. Another commissioner suggested that the officer overreacted. <br />Commissioners suggested that the Commission send a letter acknowledging her letter but <br />further action was not warranted. Commissioners asked Carolyn Curti to check with Lt. Rick <br />Mathwig to see how the Police responded and draft a letter stating that the Commission <br />reviewed her complaint and acknowledge the distress that she felt when her car was towed. <br /> <br />Oath of Office <br /> <br />Commissioner Vnuk and Chair McKenzie took the oath of office. They retook the oaths of <br />office so that the City can keep a signed copy on file. ( <br /> <br />EMED <br /> <br />Commissioner Vnuk reported on the Roseville Area Schools Diversity Advisory Committee. <br />The Committee was meeting once a month, but committee members felt that was too often so <br />they will now meet twice a year. Vnuk's term expires in October, so another Commissioner <br />will need to take that responsibility. The Committee makes recommendations on diversity <br />issues to the RAS School Board and then looks to see that the recommendations are being <br />implemented. <br /> <br />Chair McKenzie thanked Commissioner Vnuk for her work on the Committee. <br /> <br />Adjournment <br /> <br />Commissioner Crump moved, and Commissioner Voeller seconded motion to adjourn. <br />Meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m. <br /> <br />( <br /> <br />2 <br />
