Currently there are 20 seats which have been filled. Due to resignations, there are currently eight seats vacant. In addition, the terms of three additional members expired November 4, 1995 and two of them have asked not to be reappointed (Aron Gilmartin and Barbara Tonningsen). Therefore, there need to be ten appointments made altogether. We have recruited for applicants and have received seven applications. The Commission has indicated that it would like to do some additional recruiting in an effort to broaden the pool of applicants. The Commission has also recommended that four individuals who have applied in the past but were not appointed be appointed to fill four of the existing vacancies and that Oscar Bobrow, one of the three individuals whose terms have expired, be reappointed. Our Committee recommends the reappointment of Oscar Bobrow and would like to interview all other applicants at our meeting on December 18, 1995. Any applicants who are unable to make the interview.on December 18, 1995 will be able to be considered through a telephone interview with Supervisors DeSaulnier and Rogers. We will recommend appointments to all vacant seats at the Board's first meeting in January - January 9, 1996. -2- HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP: Not less than 15 nor more than 20.
