V. Old Business
There was discussion about the August 24, 2005 minutes of this committee, especially about the first sentence of the seventh paragraph of the fourth item. Consuelo Faust-Anderson moved that we “replace the first sentence of the seventh paragraph of the fourth item with the original sentence.The sentence to be replaced in Faust-Anderson's motion is: “Peter Warfield mentioned that he was troubled by the fact that the Chair and the Vice Chair were having regular monthly meetings with the City Librarian Luis Herrera which were not reported or announced to the LCAC.
