A motion to approve the February minutes was made, seconded and unanimously approved.
2005 SHA CIB Proposals
The Board discussed and ranked the various CIB proposals that were supported by both our district and by the rest of the City. Remi Stone, a neighborhood resident and member of the CIB board, was present and listened to our discussion. Final rankings have been sent to the City.
GABA Report
Nancy Breymeier brought GABA’s request for an additional hour for Grand Old Days with no liquor and no bands during that final hour from 5:00p.m. to 6:00p.m. The Board had an energetic discussion and some raised the issue of whether Grand Old Day is an appropriate event for the neighborhood. Breymeier did note that it is GABA’s major fundraiser, however, the extra hour would not seem to benefit GABA monetarily as the food vendors staying open would pay no more. The Board recommended denial of the GABA request for an additional hour and recommended further study of the Grand Old Day event.
President’s Report
Merritt Clapp-Smith told us that the proposed District 16 Plan is ready to go to the City. The Board also discussed the Ayd Mill Road EIS response, a draft of which had been circulated before the meeting. After much discussion, the Board voted to have Clapp-Smith send the draft letter, with minor adjustments, to the City in the 30-day time period for response to the EIS.
