Hanson <br />Council Member Boss has suggested that the Council consider the re- establishment of the <br />Community Pride Committee. As you may recall, this Committee was originally established in <br />April of 1994 and focused on projects that fostered community identity and pride. These <br />included coordination of a City clothing line, installation of new City entrance signs, and <br />establishment of the Community Pride Awards Program. The Committee eventually disbanded <br />in the early 2000's due to a lack of members. <br />In 2006 the City attempted to re- establish the Committee and put an article in the April /May <br />edition of the newsletter. Only one interested party responded, and the decision was not to move <br />forward at that time. <br />If the Council is interested in re- establishing this Committee, I would suggest that a list of <br />potential focuses be identified. These could include additional focus on promoting community <br />identity, beautification efforts involving code enforcement and community development to cite <br />two examples. Once that list is developed, an article could be included in an upcoming <br />newsletter seeking membership. <br />
