Executive Committee meeting
August 12, 1999, 6 p.m., 4464 Oakland.
Bob reported that Meredith Glicksman had called asking that the changed traffic pattern at Clayton might be a subject for the Council's consideration. Those present reviewed a draft of the minutes of the July 27 meeting submitted by Abby and Kim and the suggestions by Phil.Return to What's New announcements.The committee discussed the matter of finally resolving the matter of approving the revitalization and human services plans and move on with timely efforts to obtain funding for implementation of parts of the plan. It was also noted that the Board of Education would have the matter of reopening of Adams School on the agenda of its October meeting. Brief attention was given to the evolving relationship between the Council and the Housing Corporation.
Considerable attention was given to administrative matters such as enforcement of the attendance rule, the possibility of resignation of some members, and action by organizations to recall representatives. It was determined: 1) that enforcement of attendance would begin with the July 27 meeting, based on attendance reflected in the minutes of that meeting as they may be approved; 2) that upon the possibility of excessive absences, the secretaries and co-chairs will informally contact the council member to try to prevent the need for formal action; and 3) no formal action was required at the present time, there being no resignation letter or active recall notice.
Finally, it was determined that to the extent possible the August meeting should avoid other possible administrative matters and focus on moving along with plan and moving along with urgent matters of security and reopening of the school. Bob agreed to amend the draft agenda so that it would fit the discussion as much as possible and to work with Marcella on distribution of the agenda and meeting materials by Monday, August 16.
