November 19, 1975
To: The Mayor and City Council
From: Barbara Boulger
The institution of an early notification syatem for the City of St. Paul
has been a truly positive step in the involvement of citizens and
citizens' organizations in the decision making process of the city. 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.

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.
