Mayor Brodell stated, at the beginning of the meeting, he had received a letter with CORR (Commission on Religion and Racism) letter head on it, but was unsure who had hand delivered the letter to his office. The letter requested that CORR be placed on the agenda. Mayor Brodell explained that the City of Jonesboro is currently in a law suit with individuals mentioned in the letter, so he contacted the attorney representing the City of Jonesboro. The attorney sent a letter to the National Director of CORR, Dr. Isaac Richmond asking him to meet with legal counsel and Mayor Brodell, but never received a response back from Dr. Richmond.
