Commissioner Battle questioned if there is going to be any impact to the City since there is a hiring freeze.

Commissioner Battle would like more time to review the job description. A motion to remove the item from the agenda and bring back at the next meeting was requested.

Motion carried. -4- Mrs. Strickfaden addressed the Board and requested available days that the Board members can hear an employee appeal. A discussion took place and concluded that Wednesday's would be best day for the Board to meet. Commissioner Battle inquired if the hearing was expected to be lengthy or can it be solved in one day. Mr. Lopez responded that it usually takes five to seven days to prepare paperwork and to notify the employee of their rights, but it will not be a lengthy process. COMMISSIONER & STAFF ORALS Mrs. Strickfaden addressed the Board and stated that at the last meeting, the Board inquired about the City being eligible for Federal grants. Therefore, Ms. Alderete was invited to the meeting to address any questions that the Board might have. Ms. Laura Alderete, Marketing & Grants Manager provided the Board with a hand out and explained to the Board that there is a committee who works together in assessing the needs of the City and each department. There are various grants that the City can benefit from, but at this point they are focusing on the parks and empty spaces within the City. Vice-Chairperson Villanueva asked how does the City determine what grants are available and eligible for. Ms. Alderete responded that each grant has its own criteria. For example it can be based on demographics, low income or size of the City. The Board was pleased and thanked Ms. Alderete for accepting the invitation to attend the meeting and for her presentation. Commissioner Battle asked the new Commissioner, Rosa Lopez to tell the Board a little about herself. Ms. Lopez stated that she is a member of the community and lives with her sister and her family. She works for Long Beach Unified School District and is currently attending two classes. Mr. Lopez informed the Board about having commission training. The training will be conducted by the new City attorney, Aleshire & Wynder. The training will consist of the Brown Act, rules and roles of the commission(s) or board and guidelines of the Robert Rules and Orders. He also stated that he was not sure if the training was going to be done by commission/board or a combination. Commissioner Battle suggested having one combined session for all commissions/board instead of individual meetings this will avoid duplication efforts of staff. -5- ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Battle made the motion to adjourn and Commissioner Bradley seconded.
