26. Comm. Minutes--January 8, 1991 605 Kathy Hogan said a discretionary fund was not adopted in the policy but was a concept that came out of the sub- committee. Mrs. Toussaint stressed the importance of having policy to give every agency a fair and equal chance to receive funds. She said the discretionary fund should be discussed separately. Mr. Risher doesn't think the Commission is breaking policy by allowing $2,675 from the discretionary fund for Island Park Activity Center. MOTION TO APPEAL DECISION OF THE CHAIR, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to appeal the decision of the Chair not to accept the previous motion. Motion carried on roll call vote with Mr. Risher, Mr. Wieland and Mr. Eckert voting "Aye", Mr. Shannon and Mrs. Toussaint opposing. MOTION ON SPONSORSHIPS, passed Mr. Wieland re-stated his previous motion, seconded by Mr. Eckert to accept the sub-committee sponsorship recommendation for 1991 for the following agencies and amounts: F-M Sexual Abuse Treatment Program--S2,900; New Life Center--S12,180; Nokomis--S13,125; Rape and Abuse Crisis Center--S26,850; YWCA--S14,111; and a discretionary fund of $8, 950, of which $2,675 would be paid to the Island Park Activity Center to cover the first six months of 1991 with a review the second meeting in May to see the results of legislative efforts for State funding and determine at that time whether an additional $2,675 should be paid for the remainder of 1991. Motion carried on roll call vote with Mr. Risher, Mr. Wieland and Mr. Eckert voting "Aye", Mr. Shannon and Mrs. Toussaint opposing. Mr. Shannon asked that the minutes reflect that he considers the policy to be compromised beyond the point of further use. Mr. Eckert said the policy was not as complete as it should have been because it did not address additional funds that might be available. Mr. Shannon asked him to work with someone on doing this. PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT, Suspend new activities Personnel Director Geoffrey Riches' letter to the Commission dated December 14, 1990, was referred to Steve Risher for study and a report to the Commission, since he is the portfolio commissioner for that department. MOTION, passed Mr. Risher moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to suspend any new activities or work in the Personnel Department until the January 21st meeting at 4:00 PM at which time Mr. Risher will make a full report to the Commission on the Personnel Department. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Risher said he discussed this with Geoffrey Riches on January 7, 1991.
