COMMENTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Bonnie Mangold, Salt Lake City, said her past comments stressed the importance
of maintaining perpetual public access in the Main Street Plaza and the importance of
carrying out the intent of the City and the LDS Church. She said if everyone was not
welcome in the plaza then it did not achieve the intent of being a place where the
public was welcome.
Stan Lecheminant, Salt Lake City, said he had been a City resident for over 70
years. He said he understood there was a deal on the table to solve the Main Street
Plaza problem. He urged the Council to approve the deal and move forward.
Lonnie Pursifull said he had given each Council Member a handout about Supreme
and Federal Court rulings.
William Ramos, Alexandria, Virginia, said some of the Mayor's State of the City
presentation dealt with youth programs. He said working with children and youth was
important. He said he worked for America's Promise which gave him the opportunity to
bring value to the Youth City Programs the Mayor was working with.
Jorge Riveros, Salt Lake City, said Main Street Plaza needed to be dealt with
fairly.
George Zinn, Salt Lake City, said he had lived in Salt Lake City for over 25
years. He said he was concerned about growth and progress of the City. He suggested
the City build a bridge over the two downtown shopping malls.
