<br /> II I I I II <br /> <br /> Councilwoman Buchan said, "I appreciate the intent of the Committee and all the work <br /> that they have done for our downtown. But I have a real serious concern about benches. <br /> -- When I was in Washington D.C. earlier this year, I saw transient type folks who found <br /> new and unique ways, innovative ways of curling up on any type of bench you could <br /> imagine. So I am very, very skeptical of the notion of putting benches in downtown. I <br /> think it will in fact invite a problem to start again, that we are working very hard to stop. <br /> My vote is going to be 'no' on these resolutions. It is not against the Committee or against <br /> what you have done, because I appreciate that. But I'm just not comfortable with <br /> supporting the idea of putting benches in the downtown." <br /> 1) MIS: HOW ARDILA BERGE.
