Setting It Straight

An April 25 story headlined “New proposal could save GRF a quarter million dollars annually” did not specify where the proposal originated. An editor’s note attached to a May 2 letter from Mutual 2 resident Maureen Ashley should have specified that the proposal came out of a closed executive session, so as to avoid confusion for some residents who wanted more information about it. The reason the item was not on any agenda or otherwise officially documented was because it involved personnel; hence, it was discussed in an executive session of the GRF Board in March. In an effort to underscore the GRF’s ongoing efforts to find cost savings, the board approved a general news article about curtailing the use of ODO (the security firm GRF uses to contract labor) for a savings to the community.
