Project 21 at U.C.I. has been helpful <br />in the past. <br /> <br />Lillie King stated that right now a big problem is going on <br />as to how to get the streets cleaned. People don't want to <br />come to make a formal complaint. It was suggested that a <br />notice be posted to have people get their cars off the streets <br />one night a week so that the streets may be cleaned. <br /> <br />Zeke Hernandez stated his hope that programs for ethnic <br />communities can be approved. <br /> <br />Councilman Yamamoto recommended that Council review the <br />Bylaws of the Human Relations Commission. <br /> <br />PRIORITIES OF Mayor Patterson sug- <br />COMMISSION gested that the Human <br /> Relations Commission <br /> at one of its next <br />meetings get into the area of goals and accomplishments for <br />fiscal year 1974-75.
