So, <br />we do have the <br />the type of development <br />Councilwoman Morris Commented that some of the people have re- <br />People Resigning signed from the Task Force, asked Mr. Topf <br />how many had resigned and the philosophical <br />impact that that has had or not had on the <br />Task Force. <br />Mr. Topf advised they had approximately 14 <br />members resigned and have had approximately 50% <br />attrition, and felt that it was down to a <br />more manageable group. Some of the reasons <br />people left were work related; there were <br />some philosophical problems, i.e. that the <br />Task Force was for the Mayor on growth and <br />development and that the Task Force was not <br />working towards those ends. Mr. Topf did <br />not agree with this. Also stated that a <br />number of people hadn't responded since <br />Christmas and didn't know their reasons. <br />Th.e timetable was very ambitious which in- <br />volved a lot of work and when people realized <br />th.e level of commitment they felt they didn't <br />have the time. <br />Councilman Luce Councilman Luce inquired of Mr. Topf what <br />Service Levels methodology was used to assess the adequacy <br />of the service levels? <br />Hi.s reply was that the group had reviewed <br />a number of studies that compared population <br />basis for the types of services and the <br />amount of open space available to the citizens <br />of` Louisville; and on that basis they deter- <br />mined that it was adequate. Mr. Ackerman <br />stated that national norms were taken for <br />the amount of parks space, prime statistics, <br />vc>lumes in the Library, response times from <br />the Fire Dept., emergency services, etc. The <br />question was if we have all our services <br />we>rking at 1100 right now, where does that <br />leave us with a little bit of growth? This <br />question is being put to the Finance Committee. <br />Mr. Topf named the members of the Services <br />Committee and stated they had stayed to- <br />gE~ther better than any of the rest of them. <br />Mr.. Topf stated that the members of the <br />Task Force felt positive about the City. That <br />i:> why they moved here, and want to feel <br />postive about the future of the City. <br />
