Subject: Request For City Agenda Amendment
Ms. Eikenberry,
Today, I brought to your office an application for HRDB membership, which was completed by William Floyd,
Principal, Ocoee High School. The application was completed during "half- time" at the Football Game, Mr.
Floyd did not have a resume' on hand to submit with the application as is called for in the submission
process . I realize that the timeframe for the submission of Agenda Items for consideration a the Council
meeting on Wednesday, 18 October 2011 has passed; however, I request that the submission criteria be waived
and that the application of William Floyd for membership on the HRDB be added to the agenda and submitted
for review and approval by the Commissioners at the 18 October meeting. Your favorable consideration of this
request will greatly enhance the HRDB in filling another vital slot in its membership recruitment effort. Thanks
Beth, your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
William E. Maxwell
Chairman, HRDB
