      Discussion Items –
o      Crime Report – lowest crime rate in the city, local burglaries and stolen bike
o      Intense discussion on prostitution issues and Goodwill from several neighbors with input from Herman – prostitution not registered as ‘crime’, still concerned but no resolution, PBSO working but not good adjudications at trial, neighborhood group participates in ‘first appearances’, need help from City Commission, need money for infrastructure to help advance the Federal corridor and raise tax base, Cheryl invited neighbors to upcoming meeting to help address this with the City, task force suggested, Goodwill discussed, incentive plan in the city to bring up property values but we are at the end of the list, why is there a concentration of Goodwill housing near us, question as to having Goodwill address our neighborhood from Cheryl – there will be discussion as to where this will take place.  Herman will try to get a meeting with State Attorney’s Office on this.
