As I am in Nashville, TN on business I am unable to be there to share these comments in <br />person. There are many of your constituent groups who make up our cities long time residents and <br />stakeholders. Virtually none of them embrace the content of this document and what direction it would take us as a <br />community. <br />Of the 60+ neighborhood associations, the preservation /historic community, your local service clubs such as Rotary <br />& Kiwanis, I have had many conversations with long time residents who are shaking their head in wonderment over <br />the folly of this "plan ". <br />Quite simply this process has been dominated by one group to the exclusion of all others. SACRED does not speak <br />for me or for an overwhelming majority of your long time residents, current and former neighborhood leaders <br />etc. The Council must take a leadership role in providing a sustainable economic base and work with the business <br />community to see it thrive. And, to provide quality of life improvements to maintain and improve neighborhoods and <br />our community as a whole. We have observed over the past several years the questionable tactics of SACRED and <br />find it most disturbing. Not to mention many of their members don't even live in our city. <br />I ask you to cast your vote against this "plan" <br />Respectfully, <br />Timothy Rush, past president of Washington Square and Wilshire Square Neighborhoods, & former Comm -Link Board <br />Member.
