Rose...
From Peace One
In an interview yesterday, Rose said his primary goal as mayor would be to keep the city responsive to the needs of the people of Lawrence.
There has been a gulf between the city and the people in the past, he said. Rose described city government as essentially a provider of services.
"The real strength of city government is when it has a high level of confidence put in place."
He said the commission had done much in the last three years to improve the relationship between city government and city residents. This has been done primarily through support of neighborhood development associations and the formation of a citizens' advisory group, he said.
"But I'm not persuaded that the net effect of all that has been all that good," he said.
Rose said he would continue to look for ways to narrow the gulf between the city's government and its residents.
He said that he and other members of the commission would pay special attention to making the city more attractive for business and creating a projected decline in KU's enrollment.
Recent suggestions in this area included developing more sources of employment for students, providing additional recreation, improving local housing at a relatively low cost to students and landlords and increasing law enforcement efforts, especially in response to the recent rash of ranses on and near the KU campus.
An exciting prospect for the city, Rose said, is the possibility that special revenue sharing funds may soon be available to local governments for social programs.
Such funds, if passed by Congress, could be used locally for housing and employment programs similar to those already supported with general revenue sharing funds, so that

Unlike other members of the commission who have full-time jobs in addition to being commission members, Hambleton said, she is able and able to give the extra time on the job.
"It's probably a city manager's nightmare to have a mayor who has time to do
Hambleton said she tried to answer direct inquiries with personal letters rather than merely to sign her name to a letter that the staff prepared.
Hambleton said much had occurred during her term of office that had been both unpleasant and disappointing.
. . .
One major disappointment, she said, was the defeat of the airport bond proposal last fall.
One year isn't enough to accomplish much as a mayor, Hambleton said. A two-
In addition to her duties as mayor, Hambleton also found time to serve in varying capacities with the Douglas County Board of Election and the Capital Area Council on Aging, the board of directors of the Kansas League of Municipalities and the National League of Cities, ample evidence of why she was a woman of 1974 by the local Jaycee Jaynes.
year term probably would be better, she said.
"We still haven't been able to show the relationship between the economic welfare of Lawrence and the airport bond without a study of a big industrial complex," she said.
The stalemate over flood protection along Mid Creek has also been frustrating, she said.
"I don't know where we stand on that," she said.
The commission has taken initial steps on a policy that she favors, which is putting more responsibility for special assessments for street and sidewalk improvements on the owners of adjacent property who will benefit directly from the improvements.
Hambleton said she was especially concerned that the city consider all areas of the city in its planning and give equal attention to the selected sections in north and east Lawrence.
