Summary of the November 22, 2009 ,  Annual Members and Board Meetings

The Annual Meeting of Members was held on November 21, 2009, at the Corona Furniture store.  Members were able to get answers to questions regarding the assessments (formula and use), District beautification, including trees and shrubs, as well as community banners.  The election of Board members was by acclamation, re-electing Tom Elkins, Kurt Krasne and Debbera Stecher to new three-year  terms.

Immediately following the Members meeting, the Board of Directors convened and heard a presentation from Nancy Maddox Lytle, Vice President of Projects & Development of Southeastern Economic Development Corporation.  She sketched her own extensive planning experience and described the recent changes made in SEDC and its resolve to move forward with meaningful community projects.  Ms. Lytle invited participation in the SEDC Project Area Committee by both individuals in the business community and the Central Village organization.  A constructive discussion ensued regarding the need for in-fill development, for high-density housing near transportation stops for mixed-use zoning and for green projects that will provide employment for those who live in the community.

James Justus reported on the installation of holiday banners in the District and on the manufacture of banners for District neighborhoods that will be up within a few weeks.  Don Shuckett reported on the Winter Festival preparations for December 10th at 25th & Imperial, with treats, entertainment and the traditional tree-lighting.

Continued support of Debbera Stecher’s After-School Strings Program was affirmed by the Board. President Consuelo Zuniga reminded all of the opening on Friday, December 11th of the new Logan Heights Public Library, at 567 South 28th Street with tours and entertainment planned for Saturday, December 12th between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

The next meeting of the Board will be held in the Community Meeting Room at the Police Station, 25th and Imperial, at 5:00 p.m. on January 18, 2010. A presentation by the MAC Com-22 Project (housing to be constructed at Commercial Street and 22nd Street), is to be heard then.
 Board meetings, as well as meetings of the members, are open to the public.
