BACKGROUND:
On November 28, 2017 the City received a Grievance (GC 17-04) for the Citizen Involvement Committee (CIC) against the Barclay Hills Neighborhood Association, Betty Mumm and Dan Holladay. The aggrieved party also indicated in the submitted Grievance that they requested that all members of the CIC be recused from the Grievance Committee.
