Margaret Kirkpatrick arrived to discuss the xcel greenway
conversation about the substation. We should probably be talking with
Longfellow. They don’t want it of course. The Greenway doesn’t want to lose
their green space and the plans made for the park. Longfellow has already
invested in plans. Carol and Margaret will talk with Longfellow leadership
about a community walkaround or community meeting of some kind that would
invite business owners/managers. Mary proposed them forming a task force from
EPIC to deal with the Xcel question.
Annual Meeting
People have to have attended an EPIC meeting to be able to
run for office. We have to check the attendance list. We need to print the
application forms.
Annual report…….Carol
will write it and try to incorporate it into the Phase 1 review. We could summarize
the ten years and Kendra’s survey. Mary will edit it. The Home Block Nursing
nonprofit might be resurrected because Norma Renville might be interested.
Budget.
Mary moved/Linda seconded changing the annual meeting budget
to $700. The annual report and phase one report combined have another $400 for
printing.
Rosie arrived and we passed it.
