Prior to staff presenting the report, Mayor Ruskin made some <br /> opening comments verbalizing his opinion in regards to an anonymous flyer that was <br /> mailed to City residents in the Redevelopment Zone. While the Mayor acknowledged the <br /> right of the sender(s) to disseminate this information, he found it offensive for two reasons: <br /> 1) the headline stating "Notice to Move" was fallacious while implying that the City was <br /> the sender and 2) this was an offensive communication because it assumed that the City <br /> could force people to move within one week. <br /> Chairperson Ruskin also stated that this scary tactic generated a large amount of fear and <br /> alarmed many people. Residents telephoned, emailed and faxed the Mayor and alarmed <br /> and frightened residents contacted many Council Members. Generally, the comments from <br /> residents were about being forced to move within one week. Specific examples of calls <br /> from frightened residents were shared, and in one case a resident cancelled a planned <br /> <br />REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 25, 2001 <br />MINUTES PAGE 4 <br />MINUTES Book No. 58 <br />Page No. 440 <br /> <br /> <br />
