I have enjoyed serving on the task force since November 2006 and I would like to thank you for that opportunity. Sincerely, Rosa Arred ndo c. Elaine Kuhnke, Staff Liaison Huntington Beach, CA February 6, 2008 City Council Members Gil Coerper and Cathy Green: It is with deep regret that I must resign effective immediately from the Human Relations Task Force(HRTF). I only had the opportunity to attend one meeting this year before I found out that I have some health issues which are going to take all of my attention for at least the next few months. This is very disappointing for me, not only from a health standpoint, but because I was so looking forward to "giving back"to the Huntington Beach community and to working with the absolutely outstanding members of the HRTF. I hope that sometime down-the-road I will again have the opportunity to participate on the HRTF. Sincerely, Michael L.
