Dear City Councilman New, City Councilwoman Kniech, City Councilwoman Ortega and Staff, Registered Neighborhood Organization Representatives, and Community Planning and Development Department Staff:

Good afternoon. My name is Steve Elkins, and I am an Associate City Planner with the Community Planning and Development Department.
