Information from the SPCA General Meeting on September 18th, 2007 |
| SPCA President David Hjelmgren |
| - Welcome & Introduction of SPCA Executive Board |
| 39th Ward Alderman Laurino |
| - The Ward Office is now offering a "Block Party Package." The Alderman's office will provide all information and basic needs for operating a block party. All you need to do is stop in the office. |
| - Please volunteer in the Clean N' Green Program. If any resident of our neighborhood has a project in mind for beautifying our neighborhood, please contact Alderman Laurino. This could be as simple as planting tulips. |
| - Rezmar Update (Sauganash Glen
Development): * Nothing new to update except to say that the land still remains vacant. |
| - Bike Trail - Over 1/2 mile of the proposed trail has been paved. It is coming along nicely and will be complete after the bridges on Peterson & Rogers are replaced. In the end, the hope is that this trail will continue into Lincolnwood to Pratt avenue. |
| - Please pay attention to the street cleaning signs. This time of year, due to autumn leaves, the streets are cleaned a little more often. |
| - A RED LIGHT camera will soon be installed at Foster & Pulaski. |
| - Individual issues regarding personal residences along with city projects that needed to be completed were addressed. |
| Police Sergeant Bill Kaupert (17th District) |
| - Large diverse district - over 45 languages spoken |
| - Crime in our district is on the decline.
Burglaries and homicide included. - Most serious issue to our community: theft from auto - "don't leave valuables in plain view in your car" |
| - Speeding in the community - Will focus on getting a
patrol car into our area daily for an hour - Long term: A good chance that cameras will be coming throughout the city in the near future. |
| SPCA Resident Jack Jacobsen |
| - Jack has been a resident of the area his entire
life. His parents' home on Kedvale was impacted by the Bell Oils
Fuel Spill. Jack asked the community for assistance. - If you live in the proximity, do you have similar symptoms. - If you have any contacts that can help (media?), please let Jack Jacobsen know. - To the residents of our community: TAKE ACTION! * It is our responsibility to come to the aid of our neighbors. (An open letter to the community has been drafted by Mr. Jacobsen - once scanned I will link it here) |
| Refreshments - Thanks to Chris Kunz & The Refreshment Committee! |
