Report re status of Mezes Park area (1302 -02 Mezes) Report of Deputy Police Chief, Public Works Supervisor, Director of Parks and Recreation 3/15/85 City Manager Smith said that the subject report does not include reference to towing of inoperable vehicles, since more than one week is required for investigation of a solution to the problem. Judy Buchan, 1126 Allerton, Secretary of Mezes Neighborhood Association, reported many improvements have occurred in the neighborhood in the past week and thanked Council and staff for their assistance. Kim Schoephoerster, 1028 Arguello Street, #5, complained about vehicles not being towed away and evidence of drinking in the park. She was advised both subjects are under consideration as reported above by Mr. Smith and on March 11, 1985. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- 8. Report re Quality of Life (continued from 3/11/85) (200) Report of Mayor 12/6/84 on Joint Meeting of Boards, Commissions and Committees of 11/10/84. Report of City Manager 12/4/84 Councilman Claire suggested it might be desirable to hold joint meetings of members of the City Council and all boards, commissions and committes of the type held on November 10, 1984, on a quarterly basis. Vice Mayor Mosher suggested that Council members might take it upon themselves to form committees to investigate and report back on the elements mentioned as contributing to a high quality of life in the City. She also suggested City- sponsored training programs for citizens on such subjects as how to conduct meetings, run for the City Council or become a board or commission members might be held. Mayor Britschgi suggested he and Vice Mayor Mosher could assign responsibility to Council members for task forces and suggested the Manager might be responsible for encouraging City pride in employees. He also suggested conducting a sort of "town hall" meeting for citizens in the fall. Councilman Bury urged that notice of such meeting be widely distributed. He suggested that perhaps it might be constructive and educational for Council members to meet with the City Manager and a facilitator as other cities have done to discuss their roles. Reg.
