COMMUNITY PLAN PROGRAM Mayor Garthe welcomed
PRESENTED the members of the
various City Boards
and Commissions, who
were in attendance to hear a report and to discuss the
Community Plan Program. He stated that the Program is an
action plan for the improvement of specific neighborhoods;
that the City needs the input from each Commission and Board
member, and others present, in order to improve the Program
presentation that will be made throughout the communities
involved.
Planning Director Charles Zimmerman stated that the neighbor-
hoods chosen for improvement during the first year project
are: 1) The West Area; 2) The Central Area; and 3) The South
Central Area; and that additional plans for other portions
of the City will be prepared in later Community Plan projects.
He then introduced Mr. Richard Thompson and Dale Levander,
members of the Community Plan consultant team. With the aid
of slides, they presented a preview of the Program they plan
to present at a series of public meetings and community work-
shops in the West, Central and South Central neighborhoods.
Mr. Thompson stated that the primary goal is to revitalize
the neighborhoods; that to do this they are seeking comments
and ideas from the residents in each neighborhood through a
series of workshop meetings; that these comments and ideas
will be evaluated and prioritized to determine alternative
methods to implement the planned improvements.
Following the presentation, there was a question and answer
period. The major concern of those attending was the extent
of the community involvement in the Program, including the
various methods proposed to interest the neighborhood residents
in attending and participating in the workshops.
