Adjournment


Revamping INC External Communication:  They hope to have a new version of the website to share at the next meeting.

Tax Assessments: We are working at getting a presentation on the process.

Northgate Small Area Plan: There are two meetings at which the community can give feedback.  Information was sent out on the list-serve.  What is posted looks good, but what the results on the ground will look like with this as “guidance” is unclear.  This led to a discussion of affordability.

Election plans: Early voting starts October 17th, with 12 locations.

The  meeting will be in person, and will be the annual meeting.

Announcements / Neighborhood Reports:

  *
Leesville Road Coalition community meeting with Sarah Young went very well.  She did a presentation for about ½ hour and about 40 minutes of additional answers to questions.  There is a video recording.  They will be doing 9 town halls about the various races that will be on the ballot in November.
  *
Trinity Park is having a rock concert with food trunks.  They are doing National Night Out in October.  The home tour is October 20.
  *
Watts Hospital Hillandale is doing National Night Out in Tom Miller’s yard.  At their annual meeting in October, they will be looking at boundary descriptions in their bylaws since property-line definitions are getting out of date, as well as hearing about the property tax revaluation.
  *
There was enough vocal reaction of the three neighborhoods near Lakewood to make the proposal for a huge self-storage facility as part of the redevelopment disappeared.  The National Night Out for the three neighborhoods will be at the parking lot of the Scrap Exchange.
