" Conm. Hol lman reported he had talked to past TSP Commissioners Foley and Ellis and both had told him that it was not a new practice for the Cornmission to write or review outgoing correspondence and they would be happy to explain the practice to the Commission at their next meeting. Comm. Johnson stated she was aware of the former practice because at the time of her appointment to the Commission, there was no secretary and the minutes were taken by Tom I'loore or the Traffic Sgt. at that time was Bruce Friedberg or the Chairman of the Commission, After the 1980 Downtown Parking Study was accomplished and presented to the Council, then Commissioner Foley requested permanent secretarial staff to be furnished and it was agreed to by the City Manager. This secretarial support eliminated the need to review or write 'letters. Review of Com- mission correspondence from that point on was done if the Chairman appeared in a timely manner at the City Hal1. it was not the written rule. After a )ong discussion it was agreed to by Staff, time perrnitting and the process was not too cumbersome, that Comm. Johnson would be contacted 5 TSP I'IINUTES - CONT.D. 6, 1.1 Cont'd. by phone.
