COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Commissioner Munoz reported that he attended a Commissioner Training event. He said this is a new way
for Commissioners to receive training and could be very beneficial to Commissioners from cities that may not
have the same resources available to them that we have such as the League and other training opportunities.
He said this new training was made available by BIA and such folks as the Lewis Group participated. He
said this was a good source -and he found the event informative and good for communities that don't have
what we have. He gave kudos to the groups that put it together and he said he gave them good feedback.
