I would remind you that I saw this esolut n when I spoke at a meeting of
City Managers and Police Chiefs on January 8, 1969®
One of our goals is to have a more developed program for children and adolescents,
the group which I am assuming is largely a source of concern in this current re-
solution from the Rohnert Park Council® We also think in terms in the future of
traveling teams with branch Clinics in some of the communities that are of
appreciable size and some distance from Santa Rosa proper®
