CITIZEN COMMENTS
Jonathan Jensen, 528 South 1100 East, said he was concerned about the welfare of the homeless and volunteers who served the homeless, being harassed or made to feel unwelcomed at Pioneer Park. He said the homeless did not have any other place to go.
Councilmember Seed said she shared his concerns. She said these concerns had been expressed to the Administration. She said it was her understanding that there was an effort underway to look at the problem and remove some Police vehicles in the center of the park.
Mayor Corradini said she had just been notified that some of the drug dealers were testing the City to see how serious they were, so there had been several drug dealers arrested. She said the criminal activity would be enforced hard, but everyone else would be welcomed into the park.

ACTION: Councilmember Godfrey moved and Councilmember Souvall seconded to suspend the rules and adopt Ordinance 77 of 1996, but change Section 2.38 to .070 to reflect that 6 of the 7 members were City residents and 1 member must be a resident of Salt Lake County, which motion carried, all members present voted aye.
DISCUSSION: Councilmember Reid wanted to clarify that it must be someone outside City boundaries, but within Salt Lake County.
