Reminder regarding PBSO app and submittal of photos, non-emergency # and incident request
o Flooding issues discussed – Chip working w/city and Public Services (including park and pocket parks) – King Tides and drainage causing the issue – Commissioners and Mayor involved in resolution
o Suggestion for Block Director ph#s and addresses added to the website and fliers – Ted to add
o Can still use Block Directors for 1000 & 1700 blocks, can use more since others covering for blocks
o Inappropriate park activity again, suggestion for ‘Pitch In’ sign for self cleanup in various languages, also for park only open from sunrise to sunset
o Unincorporated volunteer cars can patrol neighborhood, need to volunteer – Bob or Chris can get ph# for those interested
o Suggestion for Dog Park – we would need to pay for it and keep it up – work with Commissioners for assistance and funding, Bryant Park area is available
