COMMISSIONERS COMMENTS:
Cmr. Madrid stated that she saw a public information piece on Channel 9 in which one of
our department heads was being interviewed. The piece showed our communities in the
west and our City rep. commenting how our affordable housing projects are integrated into
our planned communities. Ms. Madrid stated that the segment was very impressive and
effectively reflects a very positive image of the City, and more public outreach segments
like this should be occurring on a regular basis.
