City Council Regular Meeting - 07/10/06 Minutes - Page 9 Maintenance staff and their quality and efficient work. Councilmember Pust sought Commission's advocacy and education of the public in how to involve citizens more in understanding that the quality of life enjoyed by the community involved adequate funding and encouraged the Commissioners to serve as the City's ambassadors to let the public know about the great value they received for their local tax dollars to allow the City Council the political energy to solve financial issues. Councilmember Pust noted the envious assets within the community and encouraged the Commission to provide the City Council with strategic plans to maintain and enhance those amenities over the next 20-30 years, so another "OVAL" crisis situation didn't develop. How can we best work together to accomplish this goal to restore and properly maintain what we have? How do we best work together?
