0801353 – IceAid - Icelandic development and humanitarian organisation, request for cooperation.
A letter was presented from IceAid, an Icelandic development and humanitarian organisation, requesting the City of Hafnarfjörður's support for the organisation by providing an office with a computer and telephone, and a part-time member of staff.
The Committee on Democracy and Equality considers the organisation's project important, but believes it is not within the remit of the municipality to run such an operation as requested. The committee refers the matter to the Town Council for further consideration.
