Civic Association Meeting Tuesday 26th February 2019 [Updated]
The next Civic Association meeting will be held Tuesday 26 February 2019 at 7.30pm in the downstairs meeting room at Firehouse 9 (19th St S at Walter Reed Dr). Pizza will be served. On the agenda:
- Elections. This meeting will include our annual election of civic association officers. All current officers (Adam Henderson, President; Megan Lynch, Vice-President; Al Fox, Treasurer and Annette Pigott, Secretary) are running for re-election. However, new nominations are open for all these offices as well. If you would like information about the role of civic association officers, please contact Adam Henderson at president@douglasparkca.org.
- Metti Montessori. This school for 16-mo-olds to 6-year-olds is looking to relocate 3 blocks west of its current S Cleveland St location to 1022–1030 S Highland St. Representatives will be on hand to discuss the plan. Documents are available here.
- 12th St S at the Post Office. After many years, the county appears to be ready to proceed on long-standing plans to connect 12th St S through from Glebe Rd to S Monroe St. Project managers Susan Finotti and Rene Harris will be on hand to review. Documents are available here.
UPDATE: All 2018-2019 Officers were re-elected to another term.
UPDATE: The assembled membership agreed unanimously to support Metta in their move to South Highland Street.
UPDATE: There was considerable opposition to connecting 12th St South through to Monroe St; but no opposition to connecting 12th and Lincoln as per previous plans. County staff were encouraged to review the history of both Pike 3400 and the Post Office to learn of historical discussions regarding 12th St.
OTHER ACTIONS: The assembled membership agreed to donate $500 to Phoenix Bikes’ annual fundraiser.
Attendees were reminded to participate in the Neighborhood Survey that closes 9 Mar 2019.
