Lawrence, Kansas
Dear Mayor Amyx,
The Board of Directors of the Oread Neighborhood Association
cordially invites you to attend the ONA general Meeting on
July 20,
7:30 PM,
at the Lawrence Arts Center. The board
will present an overview of the Oread Neighborhood's history,
problems and of Association activities.
Oread residents,
property owners and others have grown
increasingly concerned about the area. The stability of 4 the
neighborhood is threatened by the increasing pressures of
parking, traffic,
drainage and utilities. Deterioration of
housing and the destruction of older homes continue.
The Association seeks a review of the Oread Neighborhood
Plan and a commitment from the city to work out an objective,
comprehensive solution for neighborhood problems.
The Board hopes that you can join us on July 20.
Sincerely,
~\-) .. ~0-·~~.

Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
In an effort to continue furthering fair housing and equal opportunity in
the block grant program, as ~ell as address a few problems, the Communitv Development Department ~ishes to institute a few changes. These changes deal with the
solicitation of participants Oil the CDBG Advisor~' Committee and Grant Revie~
Board, as well as participants in the various programs offered by the Department,
and a reminder of the requir·ements to be met as set forth in the Citizen Participation Plan.
Effective immediately, we will be requiring documentation of how your neighborhood solicits participation for this program. When openings are available on
the CDBG Advis0ry Committee or Grant Review Board, we would prefer that notice be
given in the neighborhood newsletter and/or a special mailing to all residents of
the neighborho0d. Special emphasis should be given to encourage minority participation. If solicitation for these openings must be made by personal contact,
we will requir~ a list of the names and demographics for all persons so notified.
When the programs we offer are publicized in the newsletter, we ask again that
minor·ity par·t.i:ipation be str·essed.
Additionally, I h'isli to remind you that the City Commission has adopted a
Citizen Participation Plan that provides guidelines to be follo~ed by CDBG funded
ll<?il5hborhood associations. One of the requirements is ::.hat the association meet
re~ularly on at least a quarterl~,. basis.
Copies of the minutes of those meetings
are to be forw1rded to this office within thirty days after each meeting.
I ha\e been made aware that some of the neighborhood associations are not
on a r':!gular·, minimum quarterly basis. Also, we have not been receivin2;
copies of minutes of the meetings that do transpire. If the association has altered the meeting ft'•7quency ot· made any other changes, the b~·laws must be amended
to reflect tl1is. A copy of all amendments shall be submitted to this department
to bP. kept !)11 file along with the minutes.

�Bob Stancliff, Adult Sports Supervisor, said he thought the sale of beer through the
concession stand was a more positive environment, one which could be controlled, as opposed to
the current environment of people bringing their own beer and drinking uncontrolled in parking lots.
In his review of other complexes serving Cereal Malt Beverages, they reported few problems.
Moody expressed concerns about the selling of Cereal Malt Beverage at the Adult Softball
Complex which was family oriented.
Hodges said he did not think the City should be encouraging the use of alcoholic beverages.
Kennedy supported allowing the sale on tournament weekends to see the impact. The City
could monitor the program and stop it at any time.
Augustine thought it was appropriate to sell Cereal Malt Beverage at Softball Tournaments.
Moved by Kennedy, seconded by Augustine, to amend the concessionaire agreement with
{
Mid-America Concessions to allow the sell of 3.2 beer at the Clinton Lake Adult Softball Complex
limited to tournament weekend use only. Aye: Augustine and Kennedy Nay: Hodges, Moody and
Nalbandian. Student Represented: Aye. Motion failed.

As part of the consent agenda, it was moved by Hodges, seconded by Kennedy, to
approve the use of right-of-way in Oread Neighborhood for signs regarding private parking in alleys.

L---Ray Hummert, Administrative Service Director, presented the staff report concerning the
1998 City Employee Health Program. The recommendation was to continue the existing program
and increase the cost for those employees with dependent coverage by S5.93 per pay period.

COORDffiATOR'S SAlARY
The Oread Neighborhood Association pays its coordinator at the rate of $6.50/hr.
At the current year's salary of $6,433.00, that would require 989.69 hours per year.
That breaks down to an average of 82.47 hours per month.
The coordinator's hours per week fluctuate (outside of the minimum 15 hours per week
office hours), depending on specific tasks to be done in any one week.

CDBG Program Accomplishments and Future Needs and Goals Document
March 17, 1999
At long last, a draft of the most recent CDBG Accomplishments and Future Needs and
Goals Document is completed. As you remember, Tametra Nunn, HAND Intern, met with the
target neighborhood associations last year to obtain information to update the needs and goals for
this document for the various neighborhoods. Meanwhile, staff has worked with various
departments in the City and added the accomplishments completed since the original document
was published.
I have sent five preliminary copies to each neighborhood association President for
review. Please feel free to make more copies if you would like, or copy only that portion that is
relevant to your particular neighborhood. After the document has been reviewed and shared with
the neighborhood, I would like an opportunity to attend a neighborhood association meeting with
each neighborhood and discuss any additions to the document the neighborhood would like to
see.
The long range plan for HAND is to work with each neighborhood to develop. a 5 - 10
year implementation plan based on the needs and goals noted in the document. In meeting the
goals, all funding sources, including CDBG and HOME, as well as the City's Capital
Improvements funds, and other City resources would be considered in determining how to
proceed.

Dear Ms. Swarts:
The Oread Neighborhood Association's current year 1406 Tennessee Sidewalk Replacement
Project has recently been completed at a cost of $2450, which is $50 under the original estimate of
$2500. Additionally, ONA has $203.26leftover cleanup funds due to the hauling ofFal! cleanup
brush (rather than chipping), and the derailment of June public garden planting plans (by June car
accident injuries to Carol vonTersch-the ONA volunteer guiding gardening efforts). As we have
previously discussed, I am writing today on behalf of the ONA Board to request transfer of
remaining sidewalk and cleanup CDBG funds to a dumpster placement project here in Oread.
As you know, Oread has for a number of years worked in conjunction with the City Sanitation
Department to arrange placement of dumpsters at Oread locations in need of improved trash
disposal systems. As part of this program, concrete dumpster pads have been created to facilitate
the placement of dumpsters along Oread's alleys, and screening fence has often been added to
improve the aesthetics of the sites. Landlords Jim Schneider and Rick Stein, the City Sanitation
Department, and the Oread Neighborhood Association have recently worked together to arrange
dumpster placement in the underserved 1300 block ofthe Kentucky-Vermont alley (behind 1344
Kentucky). A concrete dumpster pad has just been completed by Wise Cement Inc. to allow
placement of dumpsters at this location, and property owners Schneider and Stein have agreed to
pay for screening fence as well as share in the cost ofthe dumpster pad.
We would like to request that the remaining 1999-2000 Year ONA sidewalk replacement and
cleanup CDBG funds be used toward this dumpster placement project. We feel this is a worthy and
appropriate project for the use of these $253.26 ofleftover funds, and a unique opportunity to
combine CDBG funds with property owner dollars to address a pressing neighborhood need and
upgrade the project to better benefit the neighborhood.

After a page by page review of The Planning Staff Proposals published
August 7, 1978, the following questions were suggested:
1. What are the three alternative plans that have been proposed by
the planning office?
Which plan does the planning staff support and why?
What refinements are proposed for the plan that are not included in
the August 7th publication?
2. Considering the conmercial development along 9th, on f~assachusetts
and Vermont Streets, what is the rational for locating additional
commercial development in The Oread Neighborhood? (Page 2-2)
How are commercial spot and strip zoning to be discouraged while developing a campus oriented node? (Page 2-4)
What is the rational for moving the Tavern•s from their present location
to the proposed location at 12th and Oread?
3. What has the population density been in increments of three years
over the last 12 years? (Page 4-4)
4. Given the predicted stabilization and decline of the K.U. enrollment,
has the planning staff taken into account the decline in demand for
student housing? (Page 1-2)

5. How does the plan encouraqe the preservation and revitalization
of the unique character of the neighborhood? (Page 2-3)
What effect does the plan have on replacing destroyed structures?
What encouragement is currently being made by the City to rehabilitate
housing in the neighborhood? (Page 1-4)
6. How does the planning staff interpret the desires of the residents
of The Oread neighborhood according to the results of the survey?
7.
Explain the proposed changes to the zoning code?
It should be made clear that the above are only the questions suggested
by the members of the committee. Anyone concerned should make a personal
review of the proposals as there may be other points which need clarification.

Terese Gardner on Sidewalks
City Engineer Terese Gardner gave a presentation on sidewalk repair.
She began by passing out copies of the city ordinance pertaining to
sidewalks and her office's procedures for the construction of brick
sidewalks. The ordinance specifies that "when practical, the slope
across the side>valk shall not exceed one-half inch per foot, nor be
less than one-fourth inch per foot."
Terese pointed out that the City Commission orders that side>valks
be repaired. The City Clerk sends notices to property mmers. If the
work is not done "lvithin the time specified, the city >vill contract to
have it done.
The City Clerk's letter gives an estimate of how much it 1vould cost
if the city contracts the "lvork. When asked why the estimates are so
high, she pointed out that the city must use bonded laborers and they
1vould rather err on the high side in their estimates.
Several questions were asked regarding the rationale of the 1vork
ordered to be done and the amount of time allowed to do it. Terese
said she 1vould be willing to discuss the orders with anyone and would
even go over the sidewalk with owners. Marci Francisco commented that
Terese had come out to discuss sidewalks w·ith her.
Jennifer Kimball Brown asked Terese if she >vould consider changing
the wording in the notification letter, which currently begins with
the statement that the city received a complaint from ONA. She said
this led people to focus their anger on ONA and obscures the fact
that the city decides "lvhat sidewalks need repair.
Jim Schneider said he thought people should know who complained,
but it \VOUld be better for ONA to contact the mmers directly and
ask them to fix their sidewalks rather than going through the city.
Several people said their letters stated that ONA had complained
even though their properties had not been on the list ONA submitted.
�Terese conceded this was a mistake.
Terese said that she and her assistant inspect sidewalks only after
they have received a written complaint. It is a very time-consuming
procedure, she said, and they have no plans to do inspections other
than on a complaint basis.
Fall Clean-up
Eric Cleveland announced that the annual fall clean-up w-ill be held
on Saturday, October 21. Volunteers should meet at 921 Illinois at 8:00
AM and lunch ,.,ill be served in South Park Recreation Center.
Eric pointed out that the last newsletter was mistaken in saying
there 'vould be a chipper at the clean-up. Larry Bodle said that he
has chips available from anyone who wants them.
Recycling was discussed. Kevin Elliott volunteered to take recyclables
to a local center and put proceeds in an Oread account.
Homes Tour
Eric announced that a Homes Tour fundraiser will be held on December
9 & 10. Volunteers will be needed in all the houses. The reception
'vill be held in the Watkins Community Museum.
The event will be co-sponsored by ONA, the Lawrence Preservation
Alliance and the Douglas County Historical Society.
The meeting was adjourned for cookie sharing.

ONA Board meeting minutes
Oread Neighborhood Association
August 8, 1999 Board Meeting Minutes
Members Present: Linda Hixon, Janet Gerstner, Jon Hobble,
James Dunn, Myia Williams, marci francisco, Karen Ross
The meeting was called to order at 7:40pm in Linda Hixon?s
home.
1. Welcome to Oread Signs?lt was agreed we should again post
our ?Welcome to Oread? yard signs at the start of the school
year. ONA will write the City/City Commission to obtain
permission for the signs to be in place from Sunday August
22 to Tuesday August 31. Myia will call Board members and
deliver signs to each before August 22.
2. Ludington-Thacher House Party?The L-T Party Committee
(James, marci, Terry R,
Janet, Myia) will set date for party, discuss manufacture of
tickets, etc. Myia will get more info from Kesha Larson (of
Cottonwood), and meet with James, marci, Janet 11 :30am
Wednesday August 11 at Community Mercantile. Board members
will need their tickets (to sell) as soon as possible. They
will cost $11 each and ONA must guarantee the sale of 100
tickets. Proceeds: Cottonwood $1,000 (+); ONA $1 for each
ticket sold, applied to either a membership or a donation to
ONA?s general fund.
3. Maintaining Site Plans?Fred had asked for this to be
included on the meeting agenda. Fred
feels there needs to be specific policies in place to see
that site plans are maintained?(eg. if landscaping dies that
it is replaced)?ie. a mechanism should be in place to see
that original requirements of site plans are still being
met. However, Fred was not at the meeting to explain this,
and Board discussion centered on the rewriting/updating of
the City?s Zoning/Subdivision Ordinance which will be
occurring over the next 18 months. The consultants have
issued their initial report. (For those with Internet
access, the ?Zoning/Subdivision Ordinance Diagnosis? report
can be viewed at www.ci.lawrence.ks.us/). The revision of
this ordinance will most likely have significant impact on
Oread. One especially important item in the consultants?
report is recommendation of special Old Townsite codes.
Another is the recommendation of administrative approval of
site plans instead of the current City Commission approval
process. The Board felt that administrative approval might
be acceptable, but only if a method insuring adequate public
notice exists, and only if each neighborhood association
receives copies of each new site plan involving property in
their neighborhood.
4. Fall Cleanup?This year?s fall cleanup will be on October
9. Myia will enlist help from board members, ONA members,
spring cleanup helpers, the Hawk, the Wheel, Bullwinkle?s,
fraternities, sororities, Sunflower House, the 1614 Coop,
and Community Corrections. ONA needs to have the annual
general meeting to elect board members and officers; this
will be held before or after the cleanup.
1
�5. Newsletter?The next newsletter has an end-of-August
mailbox date, and is an orientation and welcome- to-O read
issue. Once printed and labeled, Janet, marci, Linda and
Myia will sort the newsletters by address. Some (ie.
single-family residence and non-apartment-complex addresses,
etc) will be distributed to board members for delivery. At
the same time that the newsletter is delivered we can sign
up new members and sell Ludington-Thacher Party tickets.
Greg will again contribute a history-related article to the
newsletter, Terry W. has volunteered to take over Trash and
Tulips, and Terry W. and Janet have offered to help put
together new-to-neighborhood orientation info. Board
members specifically wanted the new pet ordinance, as well
as trash, yard waste and recycling info included as part of
orientation material. Newsletter will also include: not
exactly ?rules?, but ?things every Oread resident should
know?: Don?t put couches or mattresses in dumpsters, don?t
park in the yard, don?t throw beer bottles/trash/cans in
yards or streets, leave porch lights on all night, don?t
urinate on the lawns (it?s against the law!), don?t barbecue
under overhangs or on porches and limit use of charcoal
lighting fluid, be careful walking alone at night. If board
members can add to the list, please call Myia.
6. CDBG?Applications for CDBG proposals will again be due in
December. Ideas for project proposals so far: repairing the
steps running from 12th Street cul-de-sac down to
Mississippi Street sidewalk; funds to prepare and print
brochures for an Oread Walking Tour (with assistance from
the Convention and Visitors Bureau and possibly a paid local
historian/writer).
James reported that the annual CDBG study session between
the City Commissioners and the HAND Advisory Committee will
be August 25 (much earlier in the year than usual). In
addition to the usual CDBG discussion topics, implementation
of the Housing Trust Fund will also be explored at this
meeting. James encouraged all those interested to attend
and observe the study session.
7. Oread Needs and Goals?The City?s HAND Department (Housing
and Neighborhood Development) has committed to meeting with
each Target Neighborhood to discuss implementation methods
to address/reach Needs and Goals each neighborhood has
identified. This could be an important opportunity for some
special assistance from City staff for help in addressing
some of our needs and reaching some of our neighborhood
goals. Therefore Janet is asking each Board member to read
and think about Oread?s recently updated Needs and Goals
list (a copy is included with these minutes), and select the
Top Ten that each feels are most important and achievable.
This would be in preparation for the Board to jointly set
our top neighborhood priorities, and then meet this Fall or
Winter with City HAND staff to discuss plans and methods for
addressing/achieving the prioritized Needs/Goals. Please
mail your list of the ten Needs/Goals you feel are most
important and achievable to Janet (1101 Ohio) by September
15.
8. Next Meeting?The next Board meeting will be 7:30pm
September 9 (location to be announced).
9. Miscellaneous:
945 Indiana Oxford Halfway House?Board wants Myia to call
the Planning Department to see if the house at 945 Indiana
ever asked for or received Use Permitted Upon Review status,
and what restrictions apply. It came to ONA?s attention
that it is being used as a halfway house but ONA heard not
a word. (In the meantime, Jim Rose, guest at the June ONA
Board meeting, wants to continue to explore renting his 1333
Tennessee rental property to Oxford House for use as an
2
�additional halfway house for women).
1200 Block of Ohio Development?Tim Allen, at the City?s
direction, has contacted Myia to tell us he has major
development plans for 1239/1241 Ohio, and 1231-1237 Ohio.
We will need to be alert and comment as appropriate as this
goes through the planning process.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:30pm.
ONA BOARD MEETING MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 9, 1999
Present: James Dunn, Janet Gerstner, Karen Ross, Terry
Wierman, Jon Hobble, Linda Hixon, marci francisco, Myia
Williams
The meeting got under way at 7:05 at James Dunn?s home.
Janet thanked board members; there have been a lot of
projects recently and board members have done a lot of work,
including delivering the newsletter and selling tickets to
the Ludington-Thacher party.
NEWSLETTER: Myia asked board members if they had any
objections to looking at new designs for a logo. The ONA
newsletter masthead needs to be cleaned up at any rate. One
idea is to see if a KU design teacher would assign students
the project of redesigning our logo, which would give us the
luxury of being able to accept or reject proposals. No
objections to asking, so I'll try. Board members like the
skyline, and would like designers to consider including it
in new designs. Keywords designers should know include
historic homes (character/charm), historic neighborhood,
diverse, families as well as students, liberal.
CLEANUP: Cleanup will be October 9 from 9 to 12. We will
meet at marci's house for doughnuts and bagels, then pick up
trash. Afterward, around noon, we plan to have lunch and
election of officers. Myia needs to send out postcards to
all members notifying them of the election date and time,
and marci will help design the card. Earlier suggestion to
have Cordley art students design logo was rejected, BUT we
will ask if Cordley students would design
posters for our October 9 cleanup and perhaps help with the
cleanup itself. Myia will get in touch with Cordley
principal, art teacher, and PTO. Board members also talked
about the tradition of brush pickup in the fall cleanup.
Since the city charges only $2 a pickup load, we decided to
forgo a chipper in favor of brush drop-off at the city lot.
Cleanup crews can make piles of brush on blocks to be picked
up by roving pickup crews such as James Dunn. Also regarding
cleanup, credit marci with this idea: Announce that ONA is
having a couch drive and residents can leave donated couches
on the porch for us to pick up. Then ONA picks them up,
leaves a note: Thanks for your donation! What a lark!
PARKING VARIANCE: Board members walked down the block to
Ellie LeCompte's office at 1017 Kentucky. She is considering
buying the house at 1005 Kentucky, but needs a parking
3
�variance. Ellie wants ONA support for,,.~ variance before
she goes ahead with the purchase. Ellie converted the 1017
Kentucky house, located on a half lot, to four small office
spaces. The rehab is great, landscaping is great, and
several board members commented that they thought the house
was a goner at one time (neglect, blight, cham-link fence
with dogs) but Ellie turned it around. The house she wants
to buy would be made into four larger office spaces. Right
now the house is divided into four (probably makeshift)
apartments, it looks pretty bad, it's in
RO-Residentiai/Office zoning (not terribly appealing to
single-family buyers), and has five parking spaces behind it
(she needs 8.5 to comply). Ellie received a parking variance
for the house she already owns (ONA never sent any comment
to the Board of Zoning Appeals on that variance request
because of a former coordinator's oversight). Marci was able
to point out the zoning board's exact language requirement
to Ellie--she needs to demonstrate a reason the property is
UNIQUE to require a variance from other properties. ONA
would prefer for the house to be bought by a single family
for their residence. The house itself is in good enough
shape to stand in any case; it's structurally sound and
could not be replaced by a building anywhere near as large.
However, a single-family sale seems unlikely. In the
discussion that followed, board members were divided, mainly
because (1 )once a variance is granted, that variance remains
with the property (unless the BZA conditions the variance);
(2) ONA has taken a strong stand on parking and some board
members feel that the parking ordinance should be
upheld in all cases, others that it's different on more
commercial streets and on streets farther from KU student
parking spillover; (3) does ONA want Kentucky to become all
commercial? Some feel the new rehab would begin a trend on
the 1000 block that would mirror the 600 block of Kentucky.
On the other hand, Ellie has done a great rehab job.
ONA decided not to oppose the variance but to tell Ellie
that we would enthusiastically support her if she would
consider mixed use for the building, that is, including one
or more apartments in the rehab. Marci will call Ellie to
chat about
ONA's concerns and suggestions, and then Janet (with marci?s
help) will write a letter to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
TRASH TRUCKS are again picking up trash around 6 in the
morning in our neighborhood, at commercial places (bars,
Corbin, etc.). This is particularly disruptive to people
who
live near bars that close at 2 a.m. Janet has been in touch
this week with the city to again ask if commercial pick-up
in Oread residential areas, especially in the 14th & Ohio
bar area, could wait until at least 7 a.m. Mike Wildgen, as
before, is supportive of this request and has been in touch
with Bob Yoos, director of the Solid Waste Division. Board
members voted unanimously for Janet to write a letter to
Yoos putting this request in writing in an attempt to get a
long-term solution to this problem.
EVALUATION: Janet, marci, Jon, and James will meet to
evaluate Myia sometime soon.
HOMES TOUR: Janet has been in touch with Angie Blair and
Dona Snead of the Old West Lawrence NA to ask if they might
consider taking a breather on the Holiday Homes Tour in
4
�December 2000 to allow ONA to hold t .. Oread Holiday Homes
Tour. Surprisingly, their response was, Would ONA be
interested in a 1999 Holiday Homes tour?!! Last week their
home tour plans for this year abruptly came into question,
owing to Dona suddenly stepping down from the Homes Tour
coordinator position. The board members felt ONA would be
hard-pressed to organize such an event in two months. Janet
will tell OWL that we will have to decline for this year
because of the
short notice, but that we encourage them to go
forward with their original December 1999 plans so that ONA
can do a December 2000 Holiday Homes Tour (either alone, or
combined with OWL). Marci had the idea to offer Myia to work
for OWL to learn methods and contacts, and to encourage OWL
to go ahead with this year?s tour. Myia agreed to volunteer
to be a spy in the enemy's camp. (Janet will relay
Myia/ONA?s offer of help.)
NEEDS & GOALS: Janet announced she is rethinking the
time frame for discussion of Needs and Goals, that is,
postponing
it owing to the other pressing things ONA needs to do (L-T
party, coordinator evaluation, cleanup, CDBG proposals,
and so on). Marci suggested determining a ?primary goal?
for
this year so that we keep action going on prioritizing Oread
goals, and on working with HAND and city staff to
achieve them. The board voted to set a primary goal for the
upcoming year: Work with the city and consultants on the
process to update and revise the Zoning Ordinance and
Subdivision Regulations, with special interest in making
them appropriate for the Original Townsite. This would be a
very timely choice for this goal, as the Zoning Ordinance
revision process is currently under way.
TIM ALLEN: Allen has called Myia once and Janet talked to
him recently. He is the owner of two houses at 1231 Ohio
and 1239 Ohio. He wants to rehab one and tear the other one
down and replace it with a fourplex. The houses are
substandard, inappropriate to the neighborhood, and look
terrible. Allen claims to want to work with the
neighborhood, claims an interest in trying to improve the
neighborhood, and wants ONA feedback on his plans. He
expects drawings of 1231/1239 Ohio plans to be done next
week, and will drop a set to Myia at that time.
PARKING MEETING WITH BARS: The new Hawk and Wheel ordinances
state that the bars must participate in a meeting called by
ONA or the city concerning illegal parking in the 14th and
Ohio vicinity, if the meeting is called by September 15.
That?s next week. The board felt we should not miss this
opportunity to meet with the bars on this issue, but that we
have not had sufficient time to assess this year?s situation
with just 2-3 weeks into the KU year and heavy bar
business. It was decided that ONA would request an extended
deadline of November 1 for calling a parking meeting.
HOUSE PARTIES: Janet circulated her August 28 and 30 e-mail
comments to commissioners, city manager, and chief of police
regarding her observations/concerns about recent house
parties and the stabbing in the 1100 block of Ohio. She
encouraged the commissioners? in their work toward drafting
a house party ordinance, encouraged better enforcement of
5
�existing laws, and offered some suggt._ .. ons. The recent
crackdown on fake IDs in local bars may be partially
responsible for the even-larger-than-normal number and size
of parties widespread throughout the neighborhood. Since
the stabbing incident on August 20 (in which the police did
not seem to take any action until the stabbing occurred),
the police appear to be much more proactive in intervening
with house parties, and more responsive to phoned-in
complaints. Dunfield, Henry, and Hodges responded, all
saying they are concerned.
LUDINGTON-THACHER PARTY: Surprisingly little talk about
party, but what's to talk about? We all need to sell our
tickets, which prove to be easy sells. Myia wants to contact
several older people in the neighborhood to see if they need
a ride to the party. If any board member knows of anyone who
falls in this category, please call Myia. I have more
tickets if you need them. Checks should be made out to ONA.
I have been inside the house on official business and can
say with assurance that no one will feel cheated! It's
fantastic.
Give checks, money to Myia or Janet. It should be fun.
The meeting adjourned at 9:15p.m.

ONA BOARD MEETING MINUTES, ruLY 11, 2000
Present: Janet Gerstner, Terry Riordan, marci francisco, Fred Sack, Shane Lillich, Charlie Goff
The meeting began at 7:35 at Janet Gerstner's house.
Marci (transitioning from acting president to vice president) offered to run the meeting, and Janet
(transitioning from interim coordinator back to president) accepted. Janet amended the agenda by offering
thanks to the coordinator review committee for their work in selecting Charlie to be the coordinator. She
also welcomed Charlie to ONA. Charlie thanked the committee for selecting him.
TREASURER'S REPORT. Janet reported check balance to be $1803.11 with an expected reimbursement
of about $2500 from the city due soon. Discussion over the Special Share account with KCMCU,
involving the Community Mercantile loan, ended in uncertainty over what the bank statement indicated.
Marci volunteered to talk to Denise of the credit union to determine what the statement meant. With July
31 being the end of the CDBG year, the current operating expenses budget was reported as just having hit
zero. Outstanding expenses were discussed, including a reimbursement to Janet for the new coordinator
ads. Also Janet brought up that only three newsletters had been put out this fiscal year, and if the
association wanted to put out a fourth issue as it usually does, it would cost between $900-$1000 dollars of
ON A's own funds (since this year's CDBG operating expense funds are depleted).
NEWSLETTER. Discussion centered around whether or not to put out a fourth issue for the year. Janet
sited cost increases of $150-$200 if the newsletter was going to be done the same way it had been in recent
history, printed by the Journal World. There was discussion about the format, using Charlie's program,
having Janet's husband lend him his laptop with the program previously used, or doing it offset/pasteup.
Costs of newprint vs. 17" paper, and having a four page edition vs. eight page were discussed. No decision
was made on this issue, while the board seemed open to a change of format. Costs will be explored.
NEXT GENERAL MEETING. The timing of a fourth general meeting for the year was next discussed,
with the consequent requirement of having a newsletter published to announce the meeting. It was agreed
that a general meeting would take place on Friday, August 18th, 6:30pm at South Park. The meeting
would also be a potluck dinner. Candidates for local office would be invited to come and speak. Also the
meeting would include an official farewell to Linda and David Hixon. A date between August 7-10 was
agreed upon for the newsetter to be ready for press.
HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD STREET SIGNS. Janet gave background on issue: a grant of $2500 has
been approved and ONA is providing up to an additional $500. This would not allow the signs to be placed
on every comer of the neighborhood. Kyle Gerstner had done a map of where the street signs are currently
and what sort of poles they are attached to. After discussion, it was generally agreed that the priority areas
for historic signs should be those areas where the historic homes are located. At the end of the discussion,
marci moved that the signs cover the area of the Oread neighborhood from Massachusetts St. to
Mississippi St., south as far as the money will go, including sites in the downtown area if the downtown
association is amenable, and not including sites outside the Oread area. Shane clarified the motion, and
marci seconded. There were no opposing votes.
HOMES TOUR. Janet gave background, saying that the Old West Lawrence Association had opted out of
doing a joint tour with ONA. Several residences were suggested to be contacted for inclusion in the tour.
Prospects which have already expressed interest include the Blood house, Plymouth Church, and the Dold
and Younger residence. Other prospects include the Gerstner's residence, Candy Davis's residence, the
Epstein and Thompson residence, 1008 Ohio, marci's residence, and Eric Cleveland's residence. Charlie
asked about some of the logistics involved. Janet and Marci gave some background on what a tours
coordinator would need to do. Discussion of promotion followed. Contact has already been made with the
Convention and Visitors Bureau, where Judy Billings is very enthusiastic and says ONA can still list the
event in the Visitors' Guide. The board also.discussed making use of help offered by the Old West
�Lawrence N.A. and discussed seeking assistance from the Lawrence Preservation Association. The event
will be covered in the ONA newsletter. A brief discussion of time lines involved in the process followed.
One necessity involves forming a Homes Tour Committee as soon as possible to solidify which homes will
take part in the event. Terry moved that ONA should proceed with a tour, the flrst week of December, with
an option for an ONA paid coordinator to oversee the operation. Marci seconded the motion, and it passed
without dissent.
CDBG UPDATE. Janet related how the work on the sidewalk in front of the Sunflower House had begun
and should be fmished by the July 31 deadline. All other CDBG projects for the flscal year have been
completed. Janet related how there would be about $250 left over from clean up and the Sunflower
project, which Margene at HAND said could be given to help pay for the installation of a dumpster pad to
assist in placement of two dumpsters in the alley between Vermont and Kentucky near 13th St. A history
of ONA's involvement in dumpster placing was then given by marci. For the upcoming flscal year,
funding has been approved for a coordinator, operating expenses, clean ups, dumpster repair, and the flrst
phase of the 12th St cui de sac step replacement project.
NEXT BOARD MEETING. It was agreed that the next board meeting should take place after the potluck,
August 18th at South Park.
NEW BUSINESS. Janet discussed the recent decision by the Kansas appellate court, which denied
Bullwinkle's bar a liquor license, and discussion followed that the decision could affect the liquor licenses
of The Wheel and The Hawk. Janet expressed gratitude for the city's efforts on this issue and indicated that
ONA owed them a thank you. The board agreed. Shane said he would read the court's decision in detail to
understand it clearly and also determine if any precedents could come from the decision.
Janet announced that, in response to the letter that ONA had sent to the city expressing concerns about
1147 Ohio, the city inspected the site and determined that the duplex conversion there had been done
illegally. Duplex occupancy must cease by July 17. Additionally, Janet said another more extensive
inspection resulted in a long list of code violations that were supposed to be corrected by August 15, 2000,
or the owner could be prosecuted. Discussion followed about the possibility of the owner demolishing the
house and how that might affect the neighborhood. Janet said the house was built in 1865. She
volunteered to write a letter to the city commission to update the members on the situation and stress the
need for landlord registration.
Next Janet brought up that the Disorderly House Ordinance has now taken effect.
There followed discussion about the timing of the general meeting and that Welcome signs for new
students should be distributed there.
Next Janet said that the rehabilitation of the garage at 1101 Tennessee is on the upcoming HRC agenda.
She gave a brief background on the situation, which led to discussion of Larry Bodle's residence at 1208
Tennessee, and how Mr. Bodle had let several demo permits expire regarding the tearing down of an
unsightly structure on his property. There followed a discussion of how an Oread landlord has created
gravel parking lots at 1126 and 1128 Ohio. The board suggested Charlie look into the matter and inform
the appropriate authorities.
The meeting adjourned at 9:35pm.
