5. Adjournment at 7:09 p.m.
Following adjournment of the meeting, community members in attendance asked a series
of questions. The meetingwas not fficially re-convened, but Commissioners and
community members held a brief discussion, as outlined below.
o Former Commissioner Elise Bernard, 5808, asked for additional discussion
regarding participation in the Fund, commenting on its importance and the
alternative surety bond. Bernard went on to express her view that the "default

10. should be to participate", that "you have some othor stuffthat you're trying to
deal with" and that'othere is not enough time to schedule another meeting before
the deadline".
Commissioner Henderson replied "we will not be able to spend any money at this
time, there is an opportunity for this commission to revisit this issue at another
time, but since we did not meet the deadline we will not have the opportunity to
call a special meeting with enough time to adhere to the January 30th deadline, so
we will not be able to write any checks.'
Commissioner Roberts replied "I wanted to clear up the question about the
January 30e deadline; it ii an administrative deadline, there is no statutory
requirement that we participate in the fund by the 30tr. It is my intention ihat,
once a number of other things have been cleared up, that I would like to see us
participate in the fund. At this point I'rn uncomfortable voting for that given a
questionable vote for the position of chair, and probably more importantly the
transition process from the old treasurer to the new treasurer that is currently
pending. Part of that process is that the new treasurer has the opporfunity to
review past financial statements; part of participating in the security fund is
accepting liability for activity that is currently pending."
Commissioner Lewis replied."I'm not kying to be combative at all, but I got an
email saying that January 30tr was the deadiine to have the paperwork in. I'm not
cleat on any other issues saying that we shouldn't have our paperwork in by that
date...we need to participate in the security fund."
Ms. Mann shared that the meeting had been previously adjourned", and that
anything that happens here is not official. Mann then asked what upcoming
checks we need to write, or what checks are pending.
Commissioner Henderson replied "what you have heard today are inferences that
are not based on fact, what you're hearing is based on a personal agenda of
individual(s) that are looking for leadership positions...there are no issues of
malfeasance. As the outgoing treasurer,I was supposed to hand ofldocuments to
the DC Auditoros office today at4pmthat has been rescheduled to Monday at
4pm. The auditor's office will schedule a meeting with Ms. Shropshire, train her,
and give her the documents. Everything is in order, there are no problems, there is
no malfeasance...thank you for coming out, this has been an interesting
discussion...I look forward to the new commissioners, no, rather, all the
commissioners getting hained...I understand the new treasurer has taken on a
position about which she knows nothing about, she's not been trained, she has no
idea of what's been going on."

11. r Commissioner Honderson recapped that there was no other business before the
body, and th,at the motion to participate in the Security Fund had failed.
