<br />'"' <br /> <br />Glen Stroud was concerned that money and time could be wasted by staff by not <br />holding monthly meetings. He felt that staff could take off in one direction on an <br />issue and by the time another meeting was held, Council would re-direct them in <br />another direction. <br /> <br />Mary Bloom-Ramos also indicated she would prefer monthly meetings and <br />suggested they be held at the Police Community Room. There was some frustration <br />that the community didn't always know which room at City Hall the meetings were <br />taking place in. <br /> <br />7. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Martinez indicated some discussion had taken place at the last <br />meeting on scavengers and she wanted to discuss the topic further. She also stated <br />that she was fine going back to a monthly format. <br /> <br />Councilmember Benavides asked Mr. Dunams to report out on a new task force. Mr. <br />Dunams briefly explained that, so as not to ignore existing neighborhoods, a task <br />force was being set up with a number of agencies and will begin inspecting certain <br />neighborhoods, similar to the old "Weed and Seed" program. The hope is to create <br />a model program. Councilmember Benavides indicated he was open to discussing <br />monthly meetings but did not want to commit at this time. <br /> <br />'"' <br /> <br />Councilmember Bustamante apologized for the meeting starting late and indicated <br />that he too was open to discuss monthly meetings and to also discuss different times <br />of the day, i.e. breakfast or lunch meetings. He stated he was sitting on a new <br />Finance Committee, which looks at ways of bringing in new revenue to the City. <br /> <br />Jay Trevino expressed to the councilmembers that whatever new programs were <br />being considered, it was necessary to consider staffing levels before approving <br />them. <br /> <br />8.
