Edgemoor Neighborhood Association
Monthly Board Meeting
February 6, 2014
The meeting held in
the Library at Fairhaven Middle School was called to order at approximately 7:00pm
by ENA Vice President John Erickson. Lauri Grove recorded the minutes.
Guest:
Fletcher Wilkinson
(RE-Sources
for Sustainable Communities)
In
2008, WA passed legislation to reduce state green house gas emissions and set
target dates to meet this goal. At current rate we will fall short of those
targets. Fletcher encouraged everyone to get involved by writing letters and
voicing support to legislators directly, gathering signatures and working to
build support for climate policy. There would be a climate action workshop at
Re-Sources on Feb. 13th.
Guest: David Pillinger (Southside
Living Magazine)
David attended our meeting to make the
neighborhood aware that a new magazine would be going to print in April. The ad-driven
magazine, Southside Living, would be distributed monthly to about 2960
residents. He offered that the magazine would highlight an area family on the
cover and include free classifieds, real estate listings, and pertinent local
news. Neighborhood associations could be a source for news, meeting schedules,
points of interest etc…
Guest: Officer Harper and Sgt.
Gutierrez
Sgt. Gutierrez replaced Sgt. Almers as lead for the Neighborhood
Anti Crime Team. He accompanied Officer Harper to our meeting to introduce
himself and his vision for the team. Officer Harper reported that there was little
crime in January.
A question was raised about a Block Watch
Program in the neighborhood. Sandie offered there was a link on the website to
Block Watch and it was up to individual blocks to get one started. Officer
Courtney was offered as a contact to get more information about the program.
Officer Harper and a couple other policemen
are now testing magnetic body cameras - he passed his tiny camera around.
Officers must give warning that conversations are being videoed and recorded. Camera
recording cannot be edited or deleted but can be turn it off if requested. Eventually
all officers would wear body cameras which would aid in reviews, statements and
arrests.
