NEW BUSINESS:

Unfortunately our scheduled guests from SDOT didn’t make the meeting and we had several Board members that were not able to make the meeting either, so there was no new business.

OLD BUSINESS:

Northwest Council
Jerry provided the Northwest Council update: Greenwood only had one of the large requests greater than $100,000 (for a sidewalk study). There won’t be any decision anytime soon.

New Jail Siting
Ken talked about the four different jail options. He said the Haller Lake community group is very opposed to the jail in their community.

The North Precinct does not want to be housed with the jail. They want to be separate. Their concern is the northend location is too close to schools.

The City is making the decision, not the citizens, but they are having public meetings and we must go.

The Interbay site is already owned by the City, so they should put it there.

Vacant Houses
Kay Mesirow asked if anyone else had noticed all the vacant houses in our neighborhood. Xena Kinade mentioned that four houses on her block are vacant. Also we discussed the increase in the multi-family houses going up in Licton Springs, too.

Our next meeting is Wednesday, July 16, 2008.

The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Kay Mesirow for

Ellen M. Beck, Secretary
