She has taken a deep interest in the problems facing downtown. She has been readily available for discussions of items that affect us and has not been afraid to express her opinions for or against subjects we have brought to her attention. This is an important factor in our suggestion of Councilwoman Rappa as a possible appointee. Mayor Dunin, I would like to express my appreciation for your strong and unabated support of the downtown and its principles. I believe that you fully understand my desire to open better and stronger lines of communication between the council and the BIA, which is the only major city advisory board without Council liaison. It is only through knowledge and better understanding that we can all work and strive for a stronger downtown and thus a better community as a whole. e y ;Sincerel ,, Tom 'Ly,0 Tom onat SEP t-1 Ca President CITY COUNCIL SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA P.O.
