<br />Complete Count Committee <br />Minutes of August 4, 2009 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />Herman Berges mentioned a discussion that occurred after the meeting had adjourned about the possibility of <br />conducting the meetings in the Conference Room. He also suggested distributing nametags to identify <br />members. Due to limited seating in the Conference Room, it was decided that for now the Committee would <br />continue to meet in the Council Chambers. Jeanne Zemanek volunteered to make nametags for the members. <br /> <br />5. Assignment and responsibilities of subcommittees. <br /> <br />Mr. Malik spoke about the chart of subcommittees the Census Bureau offers as a guide for cities. After <br />discussion it was agreed the Committee as a whole would collectively fulfill the roles of the subcommittees and <br />re-evaluate at a later date if the need arises. <br /> <br />6.
