                  Negative:  Councilmember Finkel                 

Councilmember Finkel  requested the  record to  reflect that  the 
reason for his no vote is he believes that Council started off on 
the wrong foot by pulling the  rug out from under the very  first 
promise  that it made.   He believes Council  shouldn't have done 
that;  it  was  a  mistake  in  judgment.  He would have liked to 
support   this  but  Council  made  it  impossible.   He  further 
reflected that he was  thinking only about the  Pico Neighborhood 
Association  facet of  it, he  supports the  rest of  the overall 
program and his no vote is directed only to that limited issue.
