The Middletown Human Relations Commission approved the meeting agenda and accepted the May 20 minutes by voice vote, then moved into a discussion of ongoing community outreach projects.
Cochair Howard Thodey moved to approve the agenda and the motion carried on a voice vote; a subsequent motion to accept the May 20 minutes was also approved. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
On old business, members said there was no update on the Beaman Community Project because the principal involved leaves this week; commissioners agreed to continue discussions and to follow up with the principal's office when new leadership is in place.
Commissioners discussed sustaining a youth outreach effort initiated by Joey Fresh and noted that PALS could be expanded and bridged from the middle school into the high school. Members asked staff to contact Joey Fresh and local school administrators to outline support and potential funding before bringing a proposal to the city council.
The meeting concluded with scheduling questions about the July meeting and an adjournment by voice vote. The chair said staff (Casey) will confirm whether the commission will meet in July.
