9 PUBLIC COMMENT
10 Vasco Brazil, 4551 Lakeville Highway, has requested assistance from staff regarding
11 the restriction of information by the Conservation District.
12 Camille Sauve, 312.6th Street,,supports the DARE program.
13 Michael Lennon, 3.12 6th Street, supports the DARE program, and noted his
14 experience and information received as a physician lead him to the conclusion that
15 youngsters are very impressionable in the 3rd and 4th grades, so that is a good age
16 group to share the concepts of, the DARE program. Drugs are easily accessible to that
17 age group.
18 Laurie Mason, 516 Cherry Street, protested Keokuk Heights approvals. She
19 presented a petition with 46 signatures stating the "City of Petaluma has committed
20 itself to DOUBLE THE WIDTH of Cherry Street from Keokuk west one block to the
21 creek, add a lane and make Cherry TWO-WAY, PAVE completely around the OAK
22 TREES that remain (thus guaranteeing the deaths of these graceful old trees). We,
23 the undersigned, love Cherry Street just the way it is. We see no benefit in changing a
24 beautiful, winding, tree lined, single -lane country road into a major thoroughfare."
