CITIZEN COMMENTS <br /> <br />Rosalyn Borg, 7820 Cornell <br />Ms. Borg stated she has served on task forces and commissions. She is a little <br /> <br />offended by not being able to be considered to be on the U City/Olivette joint task <br />force that is being formed because she lives in Ward 2. Ms. Borg asked who paid <br />for the brochure being mailed for the Prop S initiative. It was her understanding that <br />any publication that is not informational, which the brochure is not, has to have <br />clearly written on the brochure, who paid for it. She stated the brochure stated that <br />the City is having financial troubles but maybe if they didn’t pay $50,000 for the Loop <br />Trolley study it would have helped to pay for some of it or all the outside attorney <br />fees being paid. Ms. Borg stated the brochure said it would have to eliminate leaf <br />pickup, which she felt that all four pick-ups were not needed; to eliminate snow <br />removal, which she said of the twenty-one years she has lived on Cornell, the City <br />has removed snow just once plus the City does not do Delmar, Olive, Hanley, or <br /> <br /> <br />
