Ms. Potts informed the Commission that a request was made to the Public
Works Department that a representative be present to answer any questions,
however, staff will try to answer any questions, due to the absence to the
Public Works Department.
Commissioner Primmer commented that the Public works department does
not hire Lynwood residents to complete projects in the area. Most of the
projects are given to contractors who do not reside in the area. He stated that
there are residents who can do the jobs, but are not given the opportunity.
Commissioner Green asked if the City requires the contractors to be union?
Ms. Potts replied no, but there are other requirements such as bonding etc.
Commissioner Primmer also stated that the City needs a program for the
youth to obtain job training within the City. Most of the Lynwood youth that
participate in the JTPA Program have to go to Huntington Park, which is
inconvenient for those families who do not have transportation.

Commissioner Bright stated that he visited some of the properties that are
either under construction or scheduled for construction, that were on the list
of proposed properties given to the Commission by Mr. Adams at the last
meeting.
Commissioner Bright also stated that the Commission has questions and
concerns and no one is available to address these concerns. Ms. Potts
stated that she would try to answer any questions, however Mr. Adams stated
at the last meeting that only progress reports on the various projects will
come .before the commission.
Commissioner Franklin requested the City Manager to come to a meeting in
the near future to discuss why changes have been made to the CDBG
Commission and the board has not been notified.
Staff replied that their request would be forwarded to the City Manager.
H. BOARD ORALS:
Commissioner Banks apologized to the Commission for her absence last
meeting. Ms. Banks stated that it is frustrating.. to be a part of a Commission
and find out later that your responsibilities have been stripped away.
Ms. Potts stated that she has discussed this issue with the community
Development Department on several occasions in an effort to continue to
include the commission on HOME and Rehabilitation issues. Ms. Banks
stated that the board should address council with these concerns as a united
commission. After further discussion, the commission decided to speak with
the City Manager regarding their concerns.
