reviewed them with us. We discussed our use of these rules and how we
can better conduct our meetings using them.
SUGAR HOUSE COMMUNITY COUNCIL GOALS DISCUSSION – Kevan Adams:
Kevan explained that we need to consider again what the goals of our
council should be. Are they the same now as they were when the council
was incorporated in 1975? At that time, some of the goals were
@: 1) to combat neighborhood and community deterioration, 2) provide
for city beautification, and 3) preserve and improve the business,
residential, recreational areas and facilities of the area. Kevan aske
d
each of the trustees to tell us why they wanted to be involved with th
e
council. The following is a summary of these comments: RICH – He felt
there was a lack of communication of what is going on in the community
