2nd
Annual Holiday Kick-off Party at CWS – raffle and prizes, monies for schools,
donations accepted for raffle, need new home owners to get involved across the
city, NAPC will help bring communication and discussions together, NAPC is
onboard with using logo from NAPC on letter related to prostitution sting and
help with communication with Goodwill and understanding the housing vouchers
and what that means for us. Cheryl
working with Lindy on this effort.
● 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.
