Cover Letter to Ordinance Addressing Accountability of Government Actions on Buildings Declared Vacant or Abandoned <br />March 15, 2013 <br />Page 3 <br />I also believe that the Task Force, City Administration and Common Council need to discuss <br />whether there should be a posting on the City's website which is regularly updated summarizing <br />key information from these forms. <br />Partnerships are formed when individuals and organizations work together, not in isolation. By <br />having greater transparency of the entire process, I believe there would be a much greater likelihood <br />of the overall success of a meaningful program to rebuild our neighborhoods. <br />We need to collaborate and challenge each other, especially when millions of taxpayer dollars from <br />unknown sources may be involved. We must be vigilant so that other key city services are not put <br />in jeopardy. Past Fiscal Summits held by the City Council have stressed these components, and <br />should not be ignored. <br />I request that this information be referred to the Community Relations Committee chaired by <br />Council Vice - President Oliver Davis and the Residential Neighborhoods Committee chaired by <br />Council Member Tim Scott, who is also a member of the Vacant & Abandoned Properties Task <br />Force. I further request that a joint committee meeting be held so that we have the opportunity for <br />good dialogue. <br />Thank you. <br />Most inc 5Q <br />Henry Davis, Jr. <br />2nd District Council Member <br />Attachments <br />EAR 1 F Z0�3, <br />CITY CLERK, SOU '4, E)HUD, ON <br />Jomw <br />
