Honorable Council,
As a long time employee (now retired) with the Community Foundation, I had a close up look at
community needs.
In general, I’ve always thought the City Council has done a good job of establishing budget priorities to
meet those needs. I have especially appreciated how well your major city goals, historically, have
reflected a holistic approach about identifying priorities that have helped create this vibrant community.
I write now to urge you to retain in your 2025-27 Major City Goals support for cultural vitality as well as
economic vitality. I believe the two go hand-in-hand. Past versions of Major City Goals have always made
this linkage. I noticed in your agenda for tonight’s community forum that the section on “Downtown
Vitality and Economic Development” does not reference the arts, the cultural arts district, or cultural
vitality. I’m hopeful that this is an unintentional oversight, and you will continue to retain these as part of
your Major City Goals.
Thank you for your consideration,
Janice Fong Wolf
