FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: BEAUTIFICATION TASK FORCE
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND
At the January 19, 1993 City Council meeting the City Council
requested that staff organize an ad-hoc task force meeting. The
task force is intended to discuss the formation of a beautification
program and make recommendations to the City Council.
Pursuant to Council direction, an invitation notice was mailed to
all persons who had applied in 1992 for a Commission/Committee
appointment and a press release notice inviting participation was
run in the Tustin News on February 11, 1993 (see attached). In
addition, both Ms. Erin Nielsen who had first proposed a city
beautification program and the Chamber of Commerce were sent
invitations to participate.
The response to the invitations and publicity has been quite good,
nine persons have contacted the Community Development Department to
confirm their attendance at the first task force meeting on Marcz
9, 1993.
Staff will keep the Council informed as to the process of the ad-
hoc task force.

Dear Interested Resident:
The Tustin City Council has recommended that you be contacted
regarding any interest you may have in becoming involved in a new
ad-hoc task force. Your efforts and interest in serving the
community would be valuable to this new task force. During our
1992 recruitment for Commission/Committee appointments you applied
for a Commission appointment. Unfortunately, due to the volume of
applicants only a limited number of qualified citizens were
appointed.
Please review the attached description of the task force and feel
tree to contact me if you have any questions.
Yours Truly,
Rita Westfield
Assistant Director
