Officer Stephen Weaver of the Crime Prevention Unit reported that in the past two months, the neighborhood had 1 armed robbery, no burglaries, 1 domestic disturbance, and 1 drug overdose death. He reminded us to call MYGNV to report neighborhood problems.

New business

With the departure of Barbara Ruth, who has moved to Arizona, we have to elect a new vice-president, which will occur in the near future.

Reports

Garden.  Kathy will now be doing the garden report.

Notification.  We need distribution volunteers to place a meeting reminder sign out on any major neighborhood street, on the morning of our bimonthly meeting. Lorie Thebaut volunteered to do one; more volunteers are needed.

Cabot/Koppers.

Robert Pearce and Bryan Cotter reported on their meetings with representatives from Beazer East (Koppers), Cabot Carbon, and the U.S. EPA.

Negotiations continue among the City, Cabot, and the EPA regarding responsibility for the stormwater pond on the Cabot property.
