area around the 38th Street LRT station (see the previous posts on this forum).
We are still working on some of the details β I will add those to this forum as
they develop.
The meeting will be:
Thursday, June 18th, 7:00 p.m.
Greater Friendship Church, 2600 E. 38th Street
Our goals for the meeting are:
1. Identify the problems
2. Clarify roles
3. Begin work on creative solutions. As Lea Johnson said in her earlier post,
βWhile the authorities can support our efforts, making the neighborhood safer
starts with us.β How can we all work together to make it better?
So far the following officials have agreed to attend:
β’ Council Member Gary Schiff
β’ Council Member Sandy Colvin Roy
β’ CCP/SAFE Crime Prevention Specialist Karen Notsch
β’ MPD β 3rd Precinct β Sgt. Chris Hudok
β’ Metro Transit β Community Outreach, Jill Hentges (Jill is also working on
securing a representative from Metro Transit Police)
Others we have contacted:
β’ Hennepin Co Commissioner Peter McLaughlin is not available. (He has a
meeting on another community issue.) There is a possibility his aide or
another representative may come.
β’ John Bell of Klodt Properties will be out of town and unable to attend. He
is definitely interested in the issue and might be able to send a
representative.
As soon as we have an agenda set we will develop a flyer and post it on the
forum. Iβll be asking all of you for assistance in distributing the flyer so
we can make sure as many people as possible know about the meeting.
Please continue to watch the forum for additional details.
