Dear Mr. Patton:
I am writting in foll up to our last week's meeting
regarding St. Thomas conduct ng a retreat for District Council
leaders.
As we had discussed, both the recent St. Paul Foundation Study
and Neighborhood Empowerment tudy point to the need of District
Council leadership to engage in local planning to continue to
foster citizen participation in St. Paul. The proposed retreat
- -== would be designed to assist t e District Counc�ls -in qoal setting
and problem solving on issu s concerned with enhancing citizen � �b��^�
participation. The work of th retreat could possibly be presented G �
to the mayor-elect and to the in-coming city council members. �Q�
��
The retreat would be sc eduled for -9��°9-� ` �,(3
A faculy taskforce from St. T omas would design and facilitate the
retreat. In addition, per our agreement, this St. Thomas taskforce jyy�
would secure all funds necess ry to run the retreat. If the funds
cannot be raised by St. Thoma , the retreat will not be held.
We will be looking fo ward to working ��aith you and the
District Council leadership. We will keep you informed on our
progress in designing the re eat.
You�s tru�y,
