ELlA Board Meeting
28 October 1997
New York School, 7:30p.m.
Attending the meeting:
Board members Fadra Andrews; Jim McCrary, Shannon Murphy, Bill Wachspress, Jolm
Swift, Jim and Dana Hurlburt; general members marci francisco, Lori Himichsen; visitors
Mark Caplan, Tammy Nunn (City Hall intern)
Agenda items:
General discussion centered around organizational difficulties due to recent resignations
of neighborhood coordinator and Board members, and the need to revitalize the
organization to apply for CDBG funds for the coming funding cycle.
General Neighborhood Meeting: Discussed need for a general meeting. It is at
this time of year we have traditionally held elections of officers. Discussed how to
publicize the meeting, which must be held as soon as possible and without a newsletter
in which to publish the date. Mon., Nov. 10 at 7:30 at New York School proposed as
meeting date and time. Approved by all present. Discussed agenda items for meeting:
Election of officers, CDBG projects, future of the organization. These items to be
mentioned on flyer we will send out to members to publicize the meeting. Lori
volunteered to make the flyer, with contributions from John. Fadra will call Kansas Key
Press to arrange for mailing.
CDBG proposals for next funding cycle: With information provided by Tammy
and marci, discussed changes in CDBG application (projects must be site specific; needs
assessment must also be completed- ours hasn't been updated for 10 years). Discussed
need to get new people invoived, with new project ideas. For the organization to be able
to continue operating, we need to secure funding for a coordinator and newsletter, at least.
Approved date for another board meeting Tues., Nov. 4, at Bill and Lori's (1205
Penn) to brainstorm ideas for projects, prepare a draft of needs assessment and CDBG
proposals. Discussed getting organizational materials- archives, neighborhood survey,
past proposals- from Bob Kennedy and other past ELlA officials so we can complete
these tasks at the board meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 9:00p.m.
