02.07.11 Executive Committee Meeting Minutes

The committee was updated on the status of Morrow and Lamar. No new recommendations to the city staff, beyond those already proposed by the small group selected by Eddie to meet with staff, had been made since prior to the last general meeting. Eddie was waiting to hear back from staff. Council was supposed to meet on the 7th, but had rescheduled for the 14th.

Marcus suggested adding a contact to the CNA web site for people to contact regarding the status of the traffic calming efforts (Peter Marshall?).

Finances:
$11190 start
+ $30 (memberships)
+ $270 (ads)
- $392 (newsletter)
$11098 end

We have received ~$2K reserved for future ads.

Tim suggested that some volunteers receive monetary reimbursement for their services (e.g. person doing mailouts for membership renewals, people using their printers to print things, etc.)

Kat passed out the initial proposed guidelines for CNA donations to be reviewed prior to the next meeting. Emily suggested that the guidelines be just that, a target but not inflexible. Organizations listed would be examples, but not exclusive.

The neighborhood in which the project would take place might not be restricted to Crestview if many in Crestview would benefit.

Emily requested funds for bags to restock the Green Mutt Mitt dispenser at Woodrow and Arroyo Seco. She also has a certificate to give to the CNA from the Friends of Brentwood to thank for the donation to the tree-planting effort.

Kat proposed changing the 6-week advanced notice requirement to 4 weeks.

Jeff, the new pastor at Crestview Baptist Church, offered their coffee shop for free neighborhood reservation and use. He would also see if it might be possible to put aside permanent office space for the CNA, if we would find it useful. They would like to offer their services to the community.
