April 2008 Meeting

April's meeting started off with our business meeting, discussing the executive director's report, treasurers report, secretary's report of minutes from march, etc. 

Alex Harris- Taylor gave the public health report, Art Lawson reported on public works, and Kevin Barrington reported on neighborhood crime, arrests, etc. Sam Cahnman reported on city council issues, and the CWLP project. Also discussed, was the Qik-N-EZ petition to demolish and rezone 1159 N. 5th. We then had a very informative presentation by our guest speaker Mike Stratton, Executive Director of the Springfield Park Board (pictured left).  Mike explained the beginning stages of the planning process of the renovation of Enos Park, as well as, the bid process, and then showed architect renderings of the renovated park.  Some of the changes being made will help to prevent transient activity, as well as other illegal activities from taking place in the park.  The park district, association, and neighborhood are all excited to see what's drawn on the renderings become reality. The renovation is expected to be completed in mid to late July 2008!
