| | 2. | | Discussion of Complaint Filed by Jeffrey Thomas.
Minutes note: Mr. Thomas was not present.
Ms. Hintz said that the complaint is notarized but that it seems that the noted violation is not within this board's jurisdiction. She also made reference of the City Attorney's opinion and still thinks that is not within this board's jurisdiction.
Mr. Block said that if the board does not find a reasonable basis to believe that there is a violation of Chapter 303 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances; they should hold a vote to dismiss the complaint. He also said that he will prepare the dismissal letter.
All the members agreed to dismiss the letter. There were no objections.
