<br /> e as needing particular attention. There was general agreement that roles <br /> should be clarified as a focused, united urban front is developed. <br /> Mr. Gleason suggested that the Council Legislative Committee may be the <br /> appropriate vehicle for developing a focus on issues the City needs to <br /> discuss with the County. Councilors commented on whether Intergovernmental <br /> Relations staff or the council committee should develop a focused list of <br /> issues to be prioritized and strategies to be developed. Road funds, the <br /> fairgrounds, Alton Baker Park, and the Shelton-McMurphey House were all <br /> mentioned as issues to be included on the list. <br /> Councilors concurred that the Legislative Committee should work with <br /> Intergovernmental Relations staff to develop a short list of intergovern- <br /> mental issues that will come to the council for approval.

Ms. Ehrman hoped to avoid giving the community <br /> the impression that the city is overrun with gangs and drugs. Mayor Miller <br /> observed that keeping public safety as a high priority and being willing to <br /> fund it helps keep the gang situation under control.
