maintenance, Meeting notes, assigning a person on the board to attend and
listen to council meetings to report back to the neighborhood of what is
happening with the city and any other important information that involves NRH.
Margaret
was going to ask Arthur Best if he would like to take on that role as the vice
chair of the NRHNA and report council meetings to the neighborhood.
There
was a suggestion to put down on the application the real budget not a budget
that will equal the $3,500 matching fund to show the neighborhood is truly
involved and the matching funds are greatly appreciated.
With the
added information and such Mike suggested he make the changes and send out via
email to the board, and we the board could approve the application via
email after all revisions and changes
have been made. The board agreed
unanimously.

inserts into the welcome packets for new neighbors on NRH. Kaylee Seconded. The vote was unanimous to
sent $25.00 to the League of Women Voters.

Linda
brought up the King County Metro in Motion; the gist of the Metro in Motion is
to get more people to ride Metro and get out of their cars. She said that the program may be a great idea
and a viable program, but in her research, it is a great deal of work and did
not think we as a board should get involved.
