CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Richardson: <br /> <br />reported a constituent had been assaulted on the Broadway Overcrossing <br />and requested staff review the adequacy of the security lighting at that <br />location; <br /> <br />expressed his appreciation to Public Works Agency staff members T. C. <br />Sutaria and Scott McCann for their presentation of a proposed parking <br />plan to the French Park Neighborhood Association; <br /> <br />requested staff inform French Park Neighborhood residents concerning the <br />parking district plan prior to the Environmental and Transportation <br />Committee meeting on the proposal; <br /> <br />indicated he was looking forward to the staff report on billboard clean-up; <br />and <br /> <br />requested the Clerk arrange to recognize the service of Joan Wilkinson and <br />Sandra Thrower on the Personnel Board and Human Relations Commission, <br />respectively. <br /> <br />Councilmember Espinoza requested staff investigate the use of volunteers to assist in Police <br />patrol activities. Councilmember McGuigan indicated a study had already been done by the <br />Police Department on volunteer assistance and that a report was forthcoming. The Mayor <br />requested the report be presented at a Council meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Espinoza expressed his concern that the rejection of Cynthia Contreras' <br />appointment to the Planning Commission (see Minutes page 38) was a precursor to negative <br />campaigns in the 1996 election. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lutz noted: <br /> <br />a "Parent Patrol" had been established at Carver Elementary School and <br />thanked staff for assisting with the project; <br /> <br />a design contest was in progress for architectural plans for live/work <br />quarters in the Downtown Artists Village; and <br /> <br />a meeting would be held at 7:00 p.m. on February 9 at Hoover School <br />regarding the reopening of the Santiago/Edgewood intersection. <br /> <br />Councilmember Mills requested staff facilitate the board-up of the 17th Street/Santiago <br />development site and encouraged staff, in conjunction with the review of the adequacy of the <br />Broadway Overpass lighting, consider an aesthetic advertisement for the Bowers Museum <br />and the Discovery Science Center in the area. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 43 FEBRUARY 6, 1995 <br /> <br /> <br />
