Re: Corrections to WC.ICR.B bylaws
Dear Mr. Barker:
Thanks for your call back the other day. I have enclosed a copy of the current
bylaws with the necessary changes we discussed. I hope this will be the last
correction needed for this edition. I was wondering, however, about whether the •
bylaws need to reflect a recent message 1 got from Vicky Sprague concerning the
naming of alternates for citizen representatives to the CRB. She advised that the
Commissioners would advertise for interested persons to fill these two positions
rather than have them nominated by the citizen reps themselves as is done by the
agency reps.
Let me know what you think. Our next meeting is set for Thursday, November 4,
1999, at which time I planned to announce the changes. Please feel free to contact
me at 970.353.3686 ext. 117.
