Carnival scheduled fhursdav July 13, 1972 (Continued from page I) I be I ieve the Bu leau should plan to work with D is tric t Planning Organizations, once they are recognized by the city. Such organizations (o r th e ir neighborhood-level con stituents) would be consulted ibout all program proposals in th e ir neighborhoods. I suggest that there be 18 members on the ivatxi, five selected by the Mayo , one selected by the C har man of the Board of County Commis sioners, and (waive repre sentatives of Portland neigh- burhoods as follows: C ities Citizens Planning Board and PMSC (PMSC would designate all three from Southeast and one from the Model neighborhood). A ll other representatives would lv appoint©! on the recom mendations of existing com munity groups in the area.
