Dear Mayor Allen:
At the Executive Board Committee meeting on Tuesday, Fehruary 13,
it was brought out that the present Model Cities Executive Board,
as it was originally constituted, was created to serve for one
year and that it is now encumbered upon the Aldermanic Board to
decide the committee's future position.
We, the members of the Model Cities Steering Committee, consist-
ing of 15 members of the Model Cities community, elected by the
neighborhood residents, in our recent regular meeting, voted to
express our wishes to you in this matter.
We urge you to vote for the continuation of this Board as it form-
erly stood, for we have depended heavily on its decisions and re-
sponded to its action. The Board, comprised of neighborhood resi-
dents and other citizens and officials, clearly represented the
true democratic approach.
Our residents, the beneficiaries of the program, have partici-
pated in the Model Cities Program for we have felt an inclusion
in its process. We have reason to doubt its effectiveness if its
structure is altered.
It is our hope that you share our attitudes and be responsive to
our request.
The Aldermanic Board, in its original action, provided us the
opportunity to share in the decisions affecting this program and
for this we are grateful and appreciative and we urge you to con-
tinue this "open door" of communication.
