in: Edward Brozak, Jerry Evans, Joyce Vincent, Ron Korsh, David Adson, John Brandes, Ross Sutter, Valentina Washchuk, Bohdan Washchuk, Tony Hofstede, Laura Wiering, Mike Romens, Sally Grans, Bonnie Brozak, Pete Gamades, Michael Rainville, Walt Dziedzic, Gayle Bonneville (staff).</I></div> <bR> <div> Meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by chair Michael Rainville. Agenda was approved by consensus. Financial report and <B>GMHC housing loan program</B> report were reviewed. One loan was processed in 2004, most likely because pace was higher in earlier years. Some funds, per last month's vote, are being transferred to Gap program for possible use on 812 Main St. NE, which GMHC is trying to purchase now. GMHC will know in a few days if offer is accepted.</div> <bR> <div> <B>NRP:</B> Motion was made (Tony Hofstede), seconded (Joyce Vincent) and carried to give final approval to transfer of $22,020.80 from miscellaneous underutilized or completed NRP strategies per last month's discussion/presentation and to allocate the funds to the Community Cohesion fund of the NRP Plan.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Crime and Safety:</B> Rainville will attend Second Precinct Advisory Council meetings on new night/time. Julie Rohovit reported on behalf of her neighbors in the 4xx block of Fourth St. NE that cars are being sold illegally (and advertised) from adjacent house. Rainville will report this to 2PAC. Rohovit also noted that two people were found passed out on her porch at 4xx University Ave. NE and fire was started in lot next door, so she called police.</div> <bR> <div> <B>DeLaSalle Athletic Facility:</B> Representatives from the Nicollet Island-East Bank Neighborhood Association reported on plans for this project and its relationship to park land. NIEBNA has passed resolution in opposition to the project, particularly because of proposed closure of Grove Street and general effect on neighborhood. NIEBNA president Victor Grambsch said the group wants to continue conversation but hasn't heard back from school. Barry Clegg noted restrictive covenants on land related to original purchase funding for regional open space that excludes athletic fields. More than 400 people have signed petition against project. Parks Commissioner Walt Dziedzic said the issue has not yet come before park board. Grambsch requested STAWNO pass similar resolution supporting NIEBNA's opposition and to continue dialog with school to find more agreeable solution. School is valued neighbor but site has problems, he added. Tony Hofstede moved to have Land Use Planning Committee study issue and listen to both sides, and that Ron Korsh chair the committee, at least for start-up. Korsh agreed to coordinate meeting, provided he is interim/temporary chair and that election is held at meeting. Motion was seconded by Laura Wiering and carried. Korsh will try to arrange meeting within week and send out notice. Grambsch added that “Cobalt” is new name of Eastgate-Lund's project; construction is expected to start in May. STAWNO will be invited to NIEBNA's spring meeting in March.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Committees:</B> Mission statements (see handout) were reviewed, with minor word changes to be made. Will post on Web site. Outreach plan (see handout) was reviewed. Committee operations (see handout) were reviewed, with understanding that it's OK to set meeting schedule six months in advance, minutes can be simple (one paragraph), it would be good if committees met just prior to board meeting so that prompt actions can be taken by board, that meeting announcements go to full community when possible (i.e., usually using e-mail), and that committee chairs report back to board meeting with summary and recommendations so that board can take final action. Keep it fun! Motion was made (Tony Hofstede), seconded (Bonnie Brozak) and carried to accept all three documents. Library fountain dedication is 5/21; Laura Wiering will check with library on events.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Third Ward Awards: </B>Motion was made (Tony Hofstede), seconded (Vincent) and carried to nominate Pete Gamades for the board award. Motion was made (Tony Hofstede), seconded and carried to nominate Ron Korsh for the non-board member award. It was noted that everyone on the list of nominees deserves an award; letter to be sent from STAWNO to all nominees, thanking them for their service. Board agreed that staff could send board member addresses to CM Samuel's office for purposes of receiving invites to the award event.</div> <bR> <div> <B>AFCAC:</B> Vincent reported on latest activities, including change in CPED contact to Judy Cedar. Group wants John Zitur to talk about possible Scherer Bros. property easement. Graco easement has been arranged.</div> <bR> <div> <B>B.F. Nelson Site: </B>NRP Scope of Service for Groundwork funding was reviewed. Motion to approve was made (Tony Hofstede), seconded and carried. Committee needs to be activated ASAP. Rainville added that he has appointment with St. Anthony East neighborhood re: NRP funds allocated by STAWNO to St. Anthony Park but thus far untapped.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Ritz Theater </B>is at 80 percent of funding goal. City transferred ownership to Ritz Theater Foundation. Groundbreaking could be 5/21, with opening a year later.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Other Business: </B>Suggestions for annual meeting awards were discussed….Follow-up meeting on SuperAmerica landscaping is 2/12….Eastside Neighborhood Service needs a volunteer one or two hours per month to visit/read to a Catholic ElderCare resident….SNO Ball was nice.</div> <bR> <div> Motion was made (Jerry Evans), seconded (Pete Gamades) and carried to approve January minutes. Motion was made (Tony Hofstede), seconded (Evans) and carried to adjourn.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Submitted by: Gayle Bonneville, Project Coordinator</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
