Yes ..thank you Tony. I agree with Tony's statements, the NID was never discussed and it would be pure speculation on anyone's part to predict what actions Councilwoman Blackwell would take.

It was (d), Al. The motions came from the floor. And it wasn't specifically about the NID, which is of no relevance to the UCD services currently spearheaded in the community by John Fenton. The meeting made clear these UCD services have been warmly appreciated by many community groups. But there were also grievances about UCD, which people didn't go into in detail -- in part because Glenn Bryan firmly steered groups away from these issues as too far off topic for that particular meeting, which had a previously established agenda that had nothing to do with UCD. The "objective" of such a meeting, I suppose, would be to elicit community concerns and desiderata about UCD in particular, or any other special service district.for University City, in a forum not shaped by UCD itself. It's hard to say what its deliverable would be, although it would certainly carry some weight in Councilwoman Blackwell's eyes. -- Tony West ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 7:43 PM Subject: [UC] Talk of a "community meeting" -- who requested it, what would be the objective? The postings about the recent "First Thursday" meeting made if fairly clear that the message between the lines of Councilwoman's presentation was that the NID initiative is dead. However, there were a few things posted about the possibility of a "community meeting" on the topic. It wasn't at all clear who wanted such a meeting: a) Mrs Blackwell b) Penn/UCD c) people in the community based on what they might have thought before the Councilwoman's presentation, d) people in the community based on what they might have thought after the Councilwoman's presentation. e) other Also, dependent on the answer to the above, what would be the objective and the deliverable of such a meeting? Always at your service & ready for a dialog, Al Krigman
