We think that it demonstrates a definite willingness on the part of our local city officials to provide a oneaningful access to government for the citizenry. The Association of St. Paul Communities has long endorsed the idea of an early notification system and is extremely grateful to the present Mayor and Council for having eatablished it. Having accepted and implemented this system, we are now hoping that you will take advantage of it in selecting a peraon to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Councilman Roedler. We strongly urge you to use the early notification aystem, which you established to seek as broad a apectrum of input into this decision as possible. Undoubtedly it has come to your attention that over the last few years the citizens of St. Paul have become increasingly active in conimunity organizations within their own neighborhoods, We feel that you ought to take every advantage of the counsel that these organizations can offer you. We are also hopeful that in making a decision on this very important matter, that you will seek out a person who has his roota in the coc�unities of our city. We understand that all of you have been endorsed by the DFL party and by the Trades and Labor Assembly. We fully understand that all of you have your political affiliationa and obligations. However, we also feel that it is important that the com- munities of this city be recognized and that their interests be repre- sented on the City Council. We would, therefore, strongly urge you to look to the neighborhoods and to those persons who have been active in the neighborhoods in your considerations on this matter. �n Cooperation with the D 333 SiWey Street Human Resources Planning Council D St. Paul, Minn. 55101 , of the St. Paui Area a (612) 224-5531 -2- The person you select will, of courae, have a great deal of influence in the future course of our city. We are, therefore, quite concerned that this person be sensitive to the needs of the coromunities of our city.
