Honorable George Latimer
Mayor of St. Paul
and
Councitman Victor Tedesco
Chairman, St. Paut City Council
Dear Mayor Latimer and Chairman Tedesco:
The Roy LJilkins Memorial 7ask Force has met twice and has held a public forum
to encourage those who have suggestions or opinions to express their pasition
about the memorial . Four additiona] Task Force meetings are scheduled
(February 1 , February 15 , March 1 , March 14) during which time the Task Force
expects to reach its conclusion. By the end of March we expect to report
back to you with our recommendation. 41e anticipate that there will be
sufficient time after Qur recommendation is received for the District Councils ,
agencies and individual citizens to make their opinions known.
The Task Force believes that the decision for a memorial should allow time for
adequate discussion and thought. Therefore, the Task Force is requesting that
the City Council a�thorize an extension of time to the original resolution
(CF279474) which reauested the Task Force to report its findings to the City
Council within 9d days.
The Roy Wilkins Memorial Task Force is hereby requesting that it be authorized
to extend its detiberations and return its findings to the Mayor and City
Council by March 31 , 1983.
.
