rochester: Rochester's Newly Formed City Beautiful Commission has first meeting!

Over a year ago we had a committee called the Residential Property Task Force and from that group came great ideas from many of us to help our city ranging from volunteering on an individual basis to helping our neighbor to reactivating our own City Beautiful Commission to creating the Rental Property Ordinance/Guidelines.
