Final Agenda for Neighborhood Meeting Thursday, January 31

Hello Neighbors,  Looking forward to seeing you Thursday at our neighborhood meeting.  Make a difference...show up and contribute to the efforts to make our neighborhood the special place that it is!  

Guests: Lexi Winer of the CU Student Government Director of City and Neighborhood Relations   Amy Soehngen, the Snow Lion resident advisor.

We have alot to cover in one hour so we'll have to move it along.  I suggest the following times for covering these topics... if only to decide what to do moving forward.  We won't be able to completely decide everything here. I'll also open the meeting with a poll to see if it's ok to extend meeting another one half hour to cover all the topics. 

1.  Growing Gardens has officially released our Neighborhood Garden from their jurisdiction.  The Neighborhood Association, partnered with the Transportation Department, are now the stewards of our lovely jewel.  Jenny/Michele will summarize what the opportunities are and what we need to organize...this change probably calls for a separate committee specifically geared towards the Garden/Park to make decisions on a more timely basis than quarterly Neighborhood meetings. 15 min.

2a. Chris Schutze, a very talented carpenter and craftsman in our neighborhood has designed a Little Free Library that he has offered to build for us. He would like to show up his design and we would like to discuss location. Transportation Department has offered to help with install if needed in the Community Garden. 10 min

2b. Chris Dobbins, one of our Gardeners, has offered to design and build a stone pattern in the gravel between the sitting stones.  He would be happy to do all the work and fund the project. 

3.  Short report on Naropa student volunteer day!  Amy Soehngen.  5 min

3.  Update on Civic Center Improvement Project.  Jerrie and Jon Herd  10 min

4.  Upcoming meeting with Naropa to discuss improvements to park adjacent to Snow Lion.  Jerrie 5 min

5.  Araphahoe reconstruction project:  Additional comments/suggestions from neighbors to feedback to City?

6.  Brighten up street mural?  How/who/when?  5 min

7. Treasurers' report...I think we probably need to have a bank account with Garden coming under Neighborhood jurisdiction.  Is GGNA a non-profit?  Things to clarify, make plan.  10 min.
