in the context of City Government's business model, it wreaks of "We <br />can make more money..." <br />Emphasis the concept of the City of Pleasanton "meeting the needs of <br />its residents". Eliminate the word "members". Membership implies a <br />club. Residents are not "members". <br />Emphasize "City of Pleasanton valuing quality of life by doing the <br />following... (see list above, expanding access, hours, etc.) <br /> <br />Conclusion <br /> It is no coincidence that the President of the United States has put <br />forth a "vision" of what he would like the health care industry to <br />become over the next ten years...a "person-centric, information-rich" <br />industry. <br /> I would like the City of Pleasanton to view its role as applying that <br />leadership on a local level to the concept of providing <br />"person-centric, information-rich" governance at the local level. By <br />focusing City of Pleasanton services on those persons who are too young <br />to speak (kids), and too old to be viewed as contributing to prosperity <br />anymore in an economic model which values prosperity, it will be <br />assured that the connnunity of Pleasanton will improve to be the best <br />community that it can be. If we focus on the details, and ignore our <br />tendency toward self-congratulatory sentiment, it should be recognized <br />that we have a long way to go to become what we truly aspire to be. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Stephen J.
