Residents and city personnel have been invited to attend. 3) NASA Lewis Research Center is an important part of the entire surrounding area and a rather substantial part of the Westshore cities. NASA personnel have a history of becoming involved in community activities such as Scouting and athletics. In addition, most of them are highly educated and earn high incomes so they are a substantial contributor to the economic well being of the Westshore cities. There have been many attempts to close and reduce the complement of NASA facilities, thereby reducing the number of such highly talented individuals living in our Westshore communities. As a matter of information, and so as to create a coalition of common interests, he invited representatives of the Lewis Engineers and Scientists Association Union to speak to the Westshore Council of Governments to explain what the cities can do to stand in the way of any future cuts in staff or programs at NASA Lewis Research Center. The comments are being taken into consideration by the other mayors. 4) Gary Hannum, Data Processing Commissioner, has been working on the Y2K problem with the assurance that the city will be year 2000 compliant. A task force has been formed to review and identify millennium problems that may affect the city's programs. Members of the task force are: Gary Hannum, chairperson; Finance Director Carrie Copfer; WWTP Environmental Engineer Dennis Long; Police Lt.
