Guest: Jim Wilkerson, Kay Tokerud

Meeting called to order by Chair Lee Dibble.

Kay Tokerud introduced herself as the new chair of the Junior College Neighborhood Association explaining that her priorities will be forming a Historic District in parts of the Junior College neighborhood and redesign/configuration of Mendocino Avenue

Jim Wilkerson representing the Neighborhood Alliance reviewed the Alliance goals for 2007. He indicated that many aligned with the Vision 2030 and were consistent with and build on last year's Alliance goals. He explained the Alliance mission was to bring neighborhoods together to look at issues that were not being addressed by the City and to open lines of communication amongst neighborhoods. One area he felt the CAB could be more helpful to neighborhoods in is to transmit information that neighborhoods are interested in to the Council. He does not feel the City listens very well to neighborhood concerns. CAB could help with this communication process.

COPE

Paul Hess discussed the work plan for CAB put together by Pat Fruiht that would have CAB members become the District Coordinators and Co-coordinators for the COPE Program. Hess explained that the COPE Program is using Fire Districts and is looking at dividing the districts into Zones. The District COPE Coordinator would help to recruit good people in each COPE District who would serve as COPE Zone Leaders. They would help recruit and train COPE Neighborhood Leaders. (See Attachments)

Hess went over the work plan and said that CAB members should work with him to decide which COPE Fire District they would represent, and on helping to develop the Zones within each COPE Fire District. Please contact Paul at 543-3711 to discuss or meet.
