The District 1 Community Council Board met on Monday, November 24 for a business meeting. In attendance were Sawyer (Pres), Mohr (VPres), Westerberg (Treas), Fuehrer (Acting Secretary), Clark, Peterson, DeLaTorre, Yang, Melendez, Barrett, Turner and Harper (newly appointed director). Also in attendance was Ellis (Cmsr McDonough's office) and Leach (D1 staff).
We were to hear from Kathryn Harris of radio station WEQY, the new low-frequency, eastside station, but she did not appear.
We approved our 1st quarter financial reports, approved the draft budget for 2015, and approved the work plan for 2015. In addition we had updates on our job applicant pool - 5 applications were submitted and will be passed on to the personnel committee.
We appointed Harper, Tharbs and Ali to the board to fill vacant seats. These individuals will need to run again at our March annual meeting.
We discussed projects in the district and across the eastside, including, the Cross-Cultural Dialogue Project, Young Mentors' Group, Eastside Promise Zone application, and Freedom School at SunRay. We are taking nominations for the neighborhood Honor Roll.
Our President, Paul Sawyer, announced that he is running for the Ward 7 City Council seat being vacated by Kathy Lantry. As a result, he is taking a leave of absence as board President until after his party's caucus in February. In the meantime, Tom Mohr will serve as board President.
There will be no District 1 Board Meeting in December.
