6:50 PARK CENTER : Discussion of next
steps. EPIC endorses the following
MOTION: that DJR be subcontracted by
LHB and that DJR have full responsibility
for design and construction of the EPPCC Center and that LHB take
responsibility for environmental and LEED factors, that contractual
responsibilities are defined and
separate and that EPIC engage DJR to assist EPIC and the Design Team in fundraising and community process.
7:30 Funding for EPIC Programs: MOTION: East/Midtown Phillips Youth Sports:
$5,000 for the Soccer/Tutoring Program, and
$5000 for the Liga Hispana de Beisbol
field rental. Review for vote. This money for these two amounts must be moved
from EPIC’s NRP Action Plan Admin. line item to a changed Lifespan Goal 2,
Strategy 2, which needs to reads: Explore
the feasibility and create a
neighborhood community center for youth and families that may operate 24 hours a day and that will provide multiple programs and
services to neighborhood youth, individuals and families both in the
future Center and elsewhere. (The bold words were added to this Goal in
November, 2006, when we voted to spend
the money for the Park Center. The new part now is in red)
Our motion will be in regard to both
approving these funds and moving them from Admin. to the newly-worded Lifespan
Goal 2, Strategy 2. This action will provide for the Plan Modification needed
in this case.
