We will have a big pot-lu0k. Everybody interested call Patricia. She
especially ivants a feH volunteers to help clean up.

Patricia would like names of people interested in neighborhood volunteer
outreaciJ (like small repairs. yard/house/garage cleanups for people who
need help, and even "supervisory presencP 11 on projects done by community
corrections people, usually weekends).
New business:
a. ~/ Curt Enos expressPd concern over a neHspaper article which said the
City Commission iWuld "votf' Soon" on t.ht' Eastern Parkway.
(funding?, its
very exist.ence? -this was unelear.) Curt f'Xpressed a need that the commission be watehful of thf~ 11 <.•lght.c•Nl point.:>" rt'<'nmlflt'!lded by u PurkHay 'T'askforce
named by the commission. Membership decided to discuss this after presentat.ions by guest speakers ...
b.
Julia PHtlP.r of ConsumP.r Affairs gave a presentation on the Kansas Landlord
Tenant A;t, and distributed the association's "Rental Housing Handbook".
She mentioned landlords' respnnsibiliti0s to provide trash recepticles,
and tenants' responsibilities to ensure the ·peace and quiet for neighbors,
and not ~o attract rodents and bugs through uncleanliness. Rights and respo:--Jsibi:lities of landlords and tenants are detailed more in the handbook,
and the parties may agree to trade some of their responsibilities. The
handbook also includes model J.earws aml notifications. We talked some about
the city's noise ordinance -vrhi.ch is on f'ilP "'+- r'rmcnm=-,.. A-f'-f'n~~~ - - " -'-'--
�4. b. continued (Consumer Affairs)
Consumee Affairs acts as a nonintere'sted 3rd pa1·ty in disputes, and doesn't
represe:1t anyone in ocurt. 'I'hey do util i.ze Douglas County Legal Aid for advice only.
Other topics 1rhich came up during discussion Here these:
-What's the difference between Section f3 and non SectioiJ 8 rental agreements?
Section 8 housing must be inspected for code, and landlords must pay interest
on Sec~ion 8 security deposits.
-Vlhat a:-:-(~ terms if no written lease h1 c~ver signed or if a lease expires?
Automa";:i.cally month to month rental.
-1-lhat about property inspectionr> req1Jenter1 of the r'ity ('Pr•rer;n. Murphy, City
Hall) hy the tenant ... any retaliation legal?
No retaJ iation for an inspection is allowed, but the c-ity can order a
dHelling vacated for necessary repairs. A 14-day letter of compliance
may be issued by a landlord or tenant to the other.
(Example in the Handbook.)
-What about problems bet1reen tenants, say in neighboring apartments?
Notify the landlord; can work 1rith a 14-day letter of compliance ... or call the
cops.
-Lawrence Housing Authority has to comply to all the~ landlord/tenant rules
everybody else does.
-Tenantf: are not obli.eated to use avnllahle off-d.reet pa.rking though city
codes dictCLte how much must be providt'd f'or new construcUon.

a landl:rrd 's approval in vrriting after not.i fying that. the tenant \YOuld 1 ike
to do r~·pairs bpforf' doing ropairs/altf't'at.ions.
c.
Three r·~presentati ves from the Gas Company (Kansas Public Ser'.rice) talked
about th·= replacement of all East Lawrence gas l im>s between now and November
1990 . .Jur lines went in betHcon 1(\G'j and l90(i fm' the most part, and have
been ido:mtified aE those most in need of repair in Lawrence.
( 20,000 feet
of line were replaced in·Pinckney in 19a9.) South Lawrence is scheduled for
replacement lines after East Lm,rrence. This is all part. of a G-year plan for
the central city.
Connectjcut and New York streets have been completed already, for the most
part, and 8th, 13th and Pennsylvania st.rc:et.s \·rill be among the first scheduled
for replacement..
Dean Burger, vice presidE~nt fol' optc'rut.ions (f\P~; llO E. 9t.h St., ()43-71344)
as~mred us that brick sidewalks vrould bf_' repai redwhere neeessary after this
pro~ess, most lines will be bored 10 feet from existin~ trees, and in many
arf•as plastic pipe \rill be put, theough existing (old) metal pipe to minimize
nev trer.ching. We're encouraged to call KPG -vf'ith any concerns about. these
ope.raticns or the aftermath o.f it.~; crew 1 s work or that of snbcontractors.
Each house 1 s gas main will be moved outside, and each main \rill have its own
regulator, to be inspected annually from now on. The gas crews may report
unsafe conditions they observe at peoples' houses to the city inspector,
lik" unvented water heaters, furna,'es, etc.
(If you have city-mandated improvements, check to see if you arE~ elegible for Community Development funds
to help with expenses.)
We 11ay s~e two stages in this vrork on each street: main crews (as in.gas main),
and service line crews.

Back to uiscussion of Parkway concerns.
Apparantly the JW ran an article tonight which said Mayor Schumm will call for
a cornmir;sion Vote on teh Parl~way, but no mention was made of the 18 points ...
It is anticipated such a parkway would carry 14,000 cars each day, or l/3 of
the voll®e on 23rd street.
After much discussion, moving, removing, and friendly amending, ELIA agreed
on this :
ELIA's rosition in talks about the Parkway and in public meetings is that:
adopt the 18 pointe:; intact of t.hc r~:rwLern Parkway 'fask
Foree before there is any other official action taken on the road1.,ray.
1),1 the City should

ELIA General meeting of April 30, 1990
30 people attended.
(Secretary was late. These minutes pick up
when she arrived.)
We set the date of the ELIA annual clean-up for June 16. We will deliver a
flyer throughout the neighborhood in advance of the event.
Jolene brought up Bill Penney's worries of being down-zoned in anticipation
of an Eastern Parkway, and encouraged a show of neighborhood willingness not
to change his long-standing zoning status on 8th Street where he is located.
The following was passed: We recognize Mr. Penney's operation has been a
good neighbor which provides a service to the community. As long as this
business is operated by the current owner in the current manner, ELIA is not
interested in seeing it down-zoned. (Shalinsky/Turner)
Minutes of thE• last general meeting were read and approved.

( Shalinsky /Profit)
Hev. H. CunninghaJn of St. Luke's AME church, founder and president of an anticrime commission in Kansas City, Kansas, spoke to the group. The commission
is registered with the state of Kansas as a not for profit organization with
four officers. He told us the when how and vhy of the commissions's operations,
and said it's actually tough to form and keep active in a crisis-oriented society.
Interest may ~eak fast, and lag.
Commission committees include: Speakers bureau, Court vatch, Information Hotline,
Reward cor.unittee, Victim assistance and Operations coordinator. Mr. Cunningham
stressed the i:nportance of proper accounting($, telephone, P.O. box, postage).
Good discussio:1 happened aft.er Mr. Cunningham's talk, about our own community,
hov people feel about drug houses in our own neighborhood, hov to organize to
encourage more neighborhood and police vigilance of drug houses, etc. ELIA
vill prob:.Lbly 3JlOnsor, though not take charge of, anti-crime activities in the
future.
ELlA is vatching the City Commission agenda for river-:front land acquisition
for :1 1ow-intennity park, vhi~h rnny inrlud<' rmtoe dock:; fllld trails. Details

30 people attended
1990
New York School library
As a member of Vote Yes for Roads, Jolene made a presentation
in favor of both the South Lawrence Trafficway and the Eastern
Parkway. (3 handouts) Discussion followed.
1.
ELIA voted to support a "yes" vote to fund a corridor study for
the Easte·n Parkway, withholding approval of the roadway itself
until suc:1 tirne as the neighborhood might be satisfied with the
meeting o··= the "18 points" (see previous discussions/meetings)
and public: participation in this process in general.
ELIA decid~~d a neighborhood vote on the Southe1·n Trafficway isn't
needE"d by us.
Fedend. NeighboThood Program was mentioned. No particulars
known beyond a video Shelley has seen. She recommended not
showing the video without a presentation by a knowledgeable
person/advocate for the program. Stay tuned.

has df'?cidE·d to step down fr·om that position. Shelley Miller was
elected by the membership to represent ELIA in Patty's place.

Discussed Greg Polk's letter to Jolene (see Newsletter).
�The follo~ing resolution was passed by the membership of the East
Lawrence Improvement Association at its regular meeting on
Monday, October 22, 1990:
The ELIA supports a "yes" vote on the Eastern Parkway bond issue
which will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot so that money may be
allocated to get a corridor study underway. We expect the
corridor :study to be conducted within the parameters of the "18
criteria" recommended by the Eastern Parkway Taskforce, which
include a great deal of public input on the corridor. The East
Lawr·(~,nce ::rnprovement Association w.i.ll decide at a later date if

The assistant city manager spoke about the Neighborhood
Redevelopment Corp., and Lawrence's possible future participation
in the program. The city's Neighborhood Services application has
been submitted, and we'll have some idea by February if Lawrence
is OK'd to participate.
Participation involves cooperation of associations like the
chamber of commerce, banks, elected officials and neighborhoods.
People from each of these groups form a non-profit corporation, a
board, and set goals for improvement($ ultimately goes for
purchase and rehabs) of houses in not predetermined areas. The
