2014-09-30 06:29:02 PM jean1 Our resident council gets quite a few memorial donations. These add up and then I will offer up ideas for people to vote on to spend the money if it is not earmarked for a certan thing.

2014-09-30 06:29:08 PM carlasummar I always put a thank you in the news paper that way the city will know that other help

2014-09-30 06:35:38 PM dmarshall81 ours should be coming up, we do it at the begining of the month
2014-09-30 06:35:46 PM jennifer2485 Our resident council consist of pure strong smart gangstas that do not mind letting anybody have it especially the director
2014-09-30 06:35:49 PM jennide221 we've had some horrible resident council meetings that ended with residents shouting at each other or with residents shouting at me
2014-09-30 06:35:51 PM valerieh I thought that no staff was supose to be in Resident council unless invited

2014-09-30 06:36:31 PM jennide221 we also only allow staff as long as resident council members invite them or approve of them being there
2014-09-30 06:36:44 PM dmarshall81 i thought one from activities was to be there to take minutes
2014-09-30 06:36:50 PM kathyhughes I would bring the problems to the Dept Heads and ask for a response in writing
2014-09-30 06:36:51 PM jyoung its good to have staff cause the resident dont speak there mines
2014-09-30 06:37:03 PM kathyhughes then put the response in the Minutes book

2014-09-30 06:37:57 PM jennide221 we found if a rst council meeting was really out of hand one month then the next month we'd invite some department heads to help answer some questions and complaints in a more timely manner
