incorporating Anaheim's history into the sesquicentennial celebration.

representative attend the sub - committee meetings to address questions raised by the
committees.
Selma Mann, City Attorney, provided an update on 501(c)(3). Setting up anew 501(c)(3)
would require the Commission to disclose public information concerning fiscal interests.
Based on its role as an advisory body, she suggested that the Commission reconsider
utilizing the Anaheim Community Foundation and earmarking a separate account for
sesquicentennial events.
Motion made by Lorri Galloway and seconded by Bill Taormina, with unanimous vote by
the Commission members, to have the 501(c)(3) issue continued for further discussion at
the next meeting.
