Couaacilman Serrato cautioned that possibly there should not be co-mingling of Housing and Redevelopment services. The City Manager responded that related services would be nDved to adjacent loca- tions for the convenience of those using the services. Citizen comments were: Melvin Jones asked that there be opportunity for citizen questions prior to Council action. Mickey M~dden con~plimented the City Manager, and said that she is delighted with the proposed Plan. A1 Amezcua suggested that other options should be developed; that one option would be two assistants or deputies as proposed by Councilman Yamamoto; and he stressed the importance of community relations. Rudy Moreno also complimented the City Manager, but expressed opposition to combining Housing and Con~nunity Development with Redevelopment. Mike Lotte commented regarding functional aspects of the Plan. Councilman Luxembourger asked the City Manager to provide information as to person- nel count per (organizational) block, dollar amount per block in the Budget, whether functions are 24 hours or not, and as to whether or not the Assistant City Manager will receive training in order to relieve the City Manager when necessary. Mayor Ward s%m~ned up the discussion with a quotation from the A. D. Little report: 'He must begin by pointing out the improvement may be more dependent upon the desire of each Councilman to help 'make things work' than any specific procedural or policy change."
