signing in (see sign-in sheets)</div> <bR> <div> Meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by chair Michael Rainville. Following introductions, the agenda and minutes were approved. Treasurer Pete Gamades said late charges on Office Max charge account were paid. He asked for a second signer for the checking account. Jerry Evans volunteered and appropriate paperwork will be taken care of with Northeast Bank.</div> <bR> <div> Will the <B>Farmers Market</B> be moving to 13th Avenue? Did an Advisory Board get formed at the recent meeting? Farmers Market reps will be asked to come to Annual Meeting to provide update and to get 3-4 STAWNO reps on the Advisory Board.</div> <bR> <div> Ongoing <B>crime and safety issues</B> were noted. STAWNO will solicit volunteers for a walking patrol (purpose: litter pick-up and senior outreach) at the annual meeting. Suggestions for clever name are welcome. Neon t-shirts will be printed up for participants so they are visible. Patrol will start litter clean-up on Broadway. Rainville will research t-shirts - preferably yellow or green, with possible STAWNO allocation of $200. Maybe MPD/Cops on Bikes can be included in the patrols. Also, it was suggested that seniors in the neighborhood be visited by the patrol for socialization, taking care not to intrude where unwanted.<B> </B>Block club training is 4/19 at Second Precinct.</div> <bR> <div> Rainville is waiting for letter from Nicollet Island neighborhood regarding <B>Superior Plating</B>. Then STAWNO will draft letter to CM Hofstede, since concerns are similar. Preference is that developers build on plant site first. Traffic impacts need to be studied. Site is on Superfund pollution list.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Pioneer Statue</B> relocation report is due soon. Statue has been hit by vehicles twice. Rainville will ask city and/or county about possible traffic control remedies.</div> <bR> <div> Owner of St. Anthony Main has offered STAWNO a <B>fundraising opportunity during Stone Arch Festival of the Arts</B> on Father's Day weekend: If STAWNO volunteers staff pop stands, a minimum of $1,500, more likely $2,000-3000, will be donated to STAWNO. Commitment would be 2-3 stands, 2 shifts, 5 hours each on Saturday and Sunday, so 2-3 people are needed at each stand plus “runners.” Approximately 80,000 people are expected at the event. STAWNO could also publicize itself and the upcoming Autumn Eve and Fun Run, e-mail list, B.F. Nelson park initiatives, etc. Rochelle Prondzinski, Olga Stanek, Rainville, Dan Brady and Bob Margl volunteered to be team captains. The more volunteers, the shorter the shifts. Could involve kids, too. 36 people are needed if 3 stands are claimed. Volunteers will get free cap and t-shirt.</div> <bR> <div> Margl recapped recent meeting between STAWNO and <B>NRP</B> regarding Phase I review/Phase II planning. He plans to have 6 meetings over 12 weeks, starting 2/26. He would like to have senior member (person involved in past efforts) on each of four segments/task forces, and will do phoning in March related to this. Rainville offered to go over past survey with Margl. E-mail will be sent out to neighborhood list about 2/26 meeting.</div> <bR> <div> Margl is also working on a <B>newsletter</B>. Meeting will be 2/13 at his house, 610 4th St. NE, at 6:30 p.m. Plan is to hand deliver it. Margl offered to pay for the newsletter.</div> <bR> <div> It was agreed that <B>CPED budget for 2007</B> will be: Insurance ($800), Meeting Rental ($200) and Office Supplies ($1,000) for the total allocation from the city of $2,000.</div> <bR> <div> Susan Young of city's Solid Waste/Recycling department can provide <B>litterbags and graffiti clean-up materials</B>.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Annual meeting is March 15.</B> Will do mailing to neighborhood, ad, Web site notice, etc. Agenda: annual update, board election, social/info circles on NRP, newsletter, B.F. Nelson, Fundraising, Farmers Market, Walking Patrol.
