IDAHO, presented his letter dated July 31, 1986 (a copy of which is on file in the clerks office) and a petition signed by 249 residents opposing any redevelopment of the block bounded by Snelling, Arona, Larpenteur, and Idaho which would displace persons residing therein. He also requested the the citizents advisory committee be re-instituted and offered to serve on the committee. RACHEL ZUBRZYCKI, 1536 W. IDAHO, felt a shopping mall would change the street from a quiet one to a street full of traffic. PAUL BERGE, 1522 W. IDAHO, asked how advisory committes are formed and Ciernia replied the Mayor recommends a list of committee members which must be approved by Council. The Mayor will be given a list of persons previously serving on the SE Advisory Committee together with names of other interested parties. 8:00 P.M.
