SUBJECT: Goal Setting, 2015 - 2017 Financial Plan
Dear Mayor Marx and Members of the Council,
The Board and members of Residents for Quality Neighborhoods request that Neighborhood
Wellness continue as one of Council's Major City Goals for the 2015 - 2017 Budget Years.
Neighborhoods continue to face their unique problems, be they a result of studentification, the
proximity of a sober living facility, cut -through traffic or other activity or problem that negatively
affects one or more of them.
Strides have been made to address some of these problems; however, solutions remain illusive. It
will, we believe, require Council's continued focus on Neighborhood Wellness to keep the current
momentum going until viable solutions are found.
Please consider the requests and information provided in Carolyn Smith's letter to be from RQN as
well. That information would have been included here; however, through a comedy of errors and
emails that remain "out there somewhere," mistakenly, that did not happen.
In conclusion, it is our belief that if attention is diverted from neighborhoods now, the current
momentum will be lost, neighborhoods will suffer and so will the people who live in them.
Although I will be unable to attend Tuesday's meeting, thank you in advance for your time and
attention to the well-being of the City's neighborhoods.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rowley
Chairperson, RQN
