sure that the CCAAC is in accordance with the City's insurance, she
also stated that she likes the program and wanted to make sure they

discontinue the children's workshop until after the Second Annual
Awards Program. She stated in the last showcase the children were
used in a PSA, she stated they and have been assisting when ever
needed. Staff person Howard also stated the reason she brought this
to the Commissioners at this time is because she wanted the
Commissioners to consider whether the children should at least be
acknowledge at the award's program, because they have put in
volunteer hours. She stated that before the beginning of next year we
will set up the structure of the children's workshop in the same order
as the adult workshop, so that they are representative of the City
Commissioner Fields stated that she wasn't so worried about the
structure, she stated, it was just that staff person Howard had not
given the Commissioners any information on the children's
workshop, she also stated she did not want the Commissioners to be
liable for the children.

honor this particular group at the awards' program. Is that correct?

opinion on this matter Commissioner Lewis asked staff person
