BOX 2759, MAR nNF.Z, CA. 94553 RECEIVED January 9 , 1996 JAN 12 1996 1 Claude L. Van Marter Assistant County Administrator OFFICE OF 631 Pine St. 11th Floor 'HADMIMSTRHTCR Martinez, CA 94553-1229 Dear Mr. Van Marter: Enclosed are copies of two letters , one sent to HAC member Ed Balico, representative from Hercules, and one sent to HAC member Jason Sampson representative from Pleasant bill . The Homeless Advisory Committee requests that these two members be removed from its Committee because of their complete lack of attendance during 1995 . The City Clerks of both Hercules and Pleasant Hill were contacted by phone on November 9 , 1995 concerning the lack of attendance by their representatives . Also new applications were sent to each city clerk. HAC has not received any further communication from them. In my letter to you dated May 17 , 1995 , I mentioned that it was HAC's understanding that the City of Concord had sent a completed applica- tion from Janet Kennedy with a recommendation that she represent that city on the Homeless Advisory Committee. If that letter and applica- tion are still in your file we request she be considered to fill one of our requested City vacancies. I am also using this letter to tender my resignation to HAC AS OF MY term expiration date of March 1, 1996 . My reasons are some health concerns and the fact that after six years I feel HAC can benefit by having some new and younger blood_ I am enclosing an application - -- from Kathleen Lafferty who has been attending and actively partici- pating in HAC meetings for many months . The Homeless Advisory Committee highly recommends her to fill the Volunteer Organization vacancy that my resignation will supply. Also enclosed is an updated application from Jennifer Baha request- ing to retain her position as a member of HAC in the Provider slot . We would appreciate as prompt a reply as possible to all these requests. Thank you.
