The Board would like to review the 5-year versus 10-year option again for the November election. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames #133, thanked the Board for their work. They have made a difference in the community and they should focus on the Hispanic community and youth problems. They need to be more aware of the needs in the community. He suggested they coordinate with the Westside Business Association and similar groups to support the Crime Control District election. He stated they should consider a 5-year rather than a 10-year plan because the community is not ready for the 10 year. The meeting adjourned at 1 : 30 pm. • J:\CCD\MIN121801 .DOC 2
