Ms. Morgan addressed Commission regarding the cancellation of a ceramics class held at the
Senior Center. Since the Commission is not involved in the process of deciding what classes
are discontinued, Chairperson Nelson suggested she direct her question to the Senior Center
Manager.
Manager Lynn addressed Ms. Morgan and explained the ceramics teacher resigned. The
Recreation Supervisor of Enrichment Classes is seeking a replacement instructor.
