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:

other representatives would

As soon as a DPO, with
bouixiaries including one of
these areas, is o fficia lly re
cognized by the c ity , it would
have the right to displace the
incumbent representing that
