>� BY ' Y CEIVED <br /> MANAGER <br /> SEP 2 Q 1994 <br /> INFORMATION ONLY <br /> Copies to: <br /> 9 - 17- `Of <br /> Dear Mayor and City Councilors, <br /> The idea of cutting our city budget by withholding water from select city <br /> parks was a mistake. That Charnel Mulligan suffered is obvious. The grass <br /> died. several trees died, people quit using it -- graffiti is the only thing <br /> that is still blooming. Was it worth it to save about three hundred dollars <br /> a year? <br /> City parks are vital to the health of a community. You could say they are <br /> measures of a neighborhood's health, a facial expression by which you could <br /> judge its mood. Green and trim they present a smiling face: brown and weed <br /> infested they are an unhappy place where drug dealers and vandals congregate. <br /> Take this analogy a bit farther. Deciding to sacrifice a wholesome park for <br /> a negligible savings is something like trying to trim one's personal budget <br /> by cutting out toothpaste. Would you save money? Some. Would it be a good <br /> idea? I don't think it would be. <br /> Please -- admit the decision was a mistake. Turn our water back on. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 4 14-41( 117444445 <br /> Randall Sinnott <br /> Dimz R!f!' - _0 ?0: <br /> M CCi r ._ -- <br /> • SST ; t • • R,_ _ - <br /> �L_• -= <br />
