The Voice and WSCO both began in 1973 . Since that time both organizations have grown in numbers, acceptance, influence and recognition. The Voice and WSCO have worked as compatible organizations all along. W�CO has initiated much of the news which has appeared in the Voice and issues uncovered in the Voice have been acted upon by WSCO. W5C0 is a non-exclusive organization and it welcomes and encourages new members to attend its meetings and join its task forces. Its members have provided great leadership to our area. WSCO has been the spearhead for pursuing West Side improvements such as the Douglas Park, home rehabilitation, street repa�r and the proposed development of People' s Park. It has initiated the West Side Drug and Alcohol Program as well as surveyed the needs of the West Side to determine the scope of programs needed on the West Side. When the Highway Department, the Community Development office, the HRA, the UFW, local developers, the Association of St . Paul Communities, state legislators and others have wanted to get West Side reaction or support for programs and ideas , WSCO is the organization they've come to. And WSCO has worked hard to keep on top of issues, informing people of proposed changes and holding public hearings on controversial issues. WSCO has provided great leadership to the West Side in seeking ut a slice of the CDRS pie. It has been a real key in putting he West Side on the map. t is for these reasons that the Voice Board of Directors holeheartedly supports WSCO and requests that WSCO be fficially recognized as the representative organization or the West Side. . . �.'�,��: :�. ��.�� 179 EAST ROBIE STREET • SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55107 PHONE 227-9291 BOARU OF Dt ECTORS Marvin J.Pertz k,President John A.Marvi 1 st Vice President Jean M.West, nd Vice President March 23, 1976 Mary Ann Barr ws,Secretary Neal R.Lindbe g,Treasurer Deborah Banc ft W.Andrew Bo Charles Bugg Mr. David Hozza Henry T.Capiz President, City Council Dionisa E.Coa s Elizabeth S.Dri co�� C3ty Hall RonaldT.Finn an St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 Stanley Fishma John R.Flores PeggyFoster Re: Statement for Public Hearing on Fernando Fuent s R.James Gesel Citizen Participation for District 3 Virginia G.Gre man Kenneth P.Gris old James A.Harris Dear Mr. Ho z za i James E.Henly John T.Hernan ez,Jr. Sally O.Irvine We were present at the birth of the West Side Citizens Leigh D.Lerner Organization (WSCO) and have seen it mature into an Drake J.LigMn Rolf G.Ljungkull active and responsible body.

SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE TEAM POLICE CONCEPT ON ST.

IT HAS BEEN OUR EXPERIENCE THAT THE WEST SIDE CITIZEN'S ORG NIZATION IS AND HAS BEEN THE ONE DOMINANT ORGANIZATION THAT HA5 PROVIDED LEADERSHIP AND PLANNING FOR ST. PAUL'S WEST SIDE CO NITY. IN DITION TO THEIR OTHER WORK, THE WEST SIDE CITIZEN'S ORGANIZATION HAS APPOINTED A POLICE-COMMUNITY RELATIONS TA5K FORCE THAT MEETS ON N "AS NEED" BASIS TO HELP RESOLVE ANY CRITICAL SITUATIONS THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN THE POLICE AND THE WEST SIDE COMMUNITY.

March 23, 1976 Due to prior commitments to family group sessions on Tu sday evenings, I have asked to address yo in my behalf. The West Side Citizens Organization is seeking authority an financial assistance as the planning organization for this co unity. I have seen the West Side Citizens Organization take an ac ive role in the Health Clinic, initiate and sponsor Prescott Ho se-a family centered drug and alcohol center, and in general se k services for the needs of West Side residents. More specifically, West Side Citizens Organization, not on y has a representative on our Advisory Board, but was in- st umental in getting Community t�evelopment money allocated to th Youth Service Bureau as a West Side priority. This stand un oubtedly had some weight resulting in a Block Grant city wi e for Youth Service Bureau. I propose that the West Side Citizens Organization not on y receive recognition as the planning and citizen partic- ip tion organization on the West Side, but that the organization re eive the authority and f�nancial assistance necessary to fu ction in a productive manner.

With my rather limited knowledge of the prospective organizations that might be competing for this job, it would seem to me that the West Side Citizens Organization would best carry out the expected duties.

W.S.C.O. has demonstrated a competency in working with local leaders and community people in formulating and taking action toward common goals for this neighborhood.
