REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 11/6/2006 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CS06-019 Analysis: Due to personal reasons, both Justin Weiler and Susan Delarue submitted letters of resignation from the Human Relations Task Force (HRTF). Pursuant to Maddy Act requirements, the vacancies were posted at City Hall, the Central Library and all branch libraries. In addition, the vacancies were announced via press releases, the City Administrator's weekly report, the Channel 3 scroll, and the city's website. Based upon a review of the applications, Rosa Arredondo and Tiffany Deckle are being recommended for appointment by the Council liaisons to the HRTF. Tiffany Deckle is a student at Orange Coast College pursuing a degree in psychology. Her professional experience includes working on a crisis hotline and serving in student government in high school. Tiffany included in her application that her interest is to "help build a stronger and better community" and is "passionate about helping others." Rosa Arredondo is a Community Program Specialist-Liaison for the County of Orange. Her professional experience includes developing outreach programs and materials, as well as coordinating more than 700 volunteers on behalf of the Orange County Registrar of Voters Office. Rosa indicated in her application that she hopes her experience will be "utilized for the benefit of our community and government." The diverse experiences and abilities of both of these individuals will prove to be a valuable asset to the work of the task force. Staff concurs with the Council liaisons' recommendations.

I care very much for the mission of the task force and,in particular,it?s involvement with the Huntington Beach schools and their students.In order to truly accomplish success and engage the students,you need someone who can fully dedicate th(=selves to that cause and be available.Due to the changes in my life these past months,I am not in the position to do so. I want to thank you for offering me the opportunity to serve and be a member of your Huntington Beach Hunan Relations Task Force. Over the past 9 ruonths,I have learned a great deal about the potential for unnecessary crimes against our other citizens due to the colon of their skin or practicing of their faith. It gives me great pride to live in a city that is ever vigilant against others who promote and perpetuate hate. I hope that my resignation M11 not cause any problems. With school coming up, I truly believe it would be best to find a qualified task force member to be,a role model for the incoming students in order to have a success program in the 2006-2007 school year and I am sure you will find such a member. If theme is anything I could do to assist in this transition,please let me know.A signed copy of my resignation will be delivered to Elaine Kulmkc on August 2,2006.
