New Business Daisy Algarin provided input on how to get input from City.

1. Address to John McMahon/James Demps.
2. Five business days prior to 3rd Thursday committee meeting, request info on “Top 10” List from Maurice/Ron for discussion at meeting. Daisy will ask for info on top three priorities so up to date.
3. Maurice/Ron will define purpose of tickets if issued, ie. “to take to City court.”

Daisy also explained inspectors are very busy due to stepped up Enforcement, ie. Ticketing; can't always attend meetings. Asked if could get more inspectors, Daisy said attend and request at budget meetings. Gary K. tries to keep them at same level. Group also had several individual discussions.
