This might be a long-shot, but is there any way that the community could
take the concept of a NID/BID and steal John Fenton? It would be an
administrative nightmare for someone (would I do it?? I'm not sure).
My objections to the NID/BID were with the organizational structure and its

Of course there is a way -- if the community is prepared to pay for it. And
it'll be a big bill -- in the millions of dollars. Even if you assume UCD
contains waste, etc., you're still talking about recreating a substantial
agency.

Thanks for getting back. My name is Guy Laren.
I have been disappointed by all of the negative energy on the Listserv
lately by both groups of people who have one seemingly unifying goal and
passion--
a love of UC.
I thought that my proposal to create this NID (or my proposed CID) by
Lomb21 is the landlord Guy Laren. His is not a bad idea, but you've
certainly pointed out the impractical parts of it, Tony.
We already tried this in 1987-88: it was called the University City Special
Services District, or the UCSSD. You'll still see some of the green and
purple UCSSD
Foes of UCD will understandably rejoice in the clear public rebuke issued it by
Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell today. But those who believe UCD made a mistake

which to forgive.

Those who would fault UCD for potentially engaging in political
activity, thereby running afoul of its 501 requirements, necessarily
require an internal investigation that is both thorough and discreet.

Um ... not really. And you shouldn't feel like you missed something obvious,
Wilma. It's not obvious at all. First off, I'll bet not one in 10 of

District. Of that 5,000, I'd be amazed if one in 10 understands what UCD
is, in
So as a BID, UCD reports first and foremost to its backers.
It seems to me (perhaps naively) that if people want any kind of control over
