Chair Chris McCarthy called the meeting to order. The first item on the agenda was replacing a member who had not attended a meeting in a full year. Surprisingly, Director Roxanne McCaffrey drove the member to be replaced to the meeting. It set up an embarrassing situation for everyone — the former member, the proposed member, and members of the Council. It was resolved elegantly by the Chair who proposed simply adding an additional member to the Council. Both women — the member and her proposed replacement, will serve. 

Jack Gremli then reminded the Council they had been offering a fee of $50 for instructors who want to present a program at the Center — minimum class size required — and asked for an official vote. This too was argued by the director but passed unanimously.
