At a quick, but productive May meeting, the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council reviewed various committee activities and approved a move for the future. Present at the meeting were: Randy Bailey, Frank and Flossie Driscole, Mary Fleener, Georgi Fox, George Genung, Karleen Hoerr, Paul Kurtz, Jim McLeod, Bob Mahon, Shirley Polk, Kathy Wobus and this reporter. Alderman Dan McGuire was a guest.
No treasurers report was presented, and review of April minutes was tabled for the next meeting. McGuire inquired about the status of the Eddie Lee Sanders memorial plans and fund. Kurtz will investigate and let the 28th Ward Democrats know so they can organize their participation.
An announcement was made regarding the upcoming 5800 McPherson and DeGiverville bake sale. Director’s Report In Nancy Farmer’s absence, Kurtz gave the director’s report.
As of the end of May, the 28th Ward will be closing its office downstairs from the SDCC office.
The landlord has been approached about letting SDCC move into the space. Comparably favorable rent arrangements have been worked out, and a motion was passed unanimously to allow Farmer to negotiate final details and plan the office move.
Many of the fixtures will remain in the space pursuant to arrangements with the 28th Ward leadership.
The Board felt this will create opportunities for increased community involvement by providing a larger, more functional meeting space, better visibility and easier access to all residents.
There will be only one spring concert this year.
The St. Louis Brass Quintet will perform in Pershing Park in Parkview on May 7: Plans for the neighborhood theater project are moving along.
A cast and audience party will immediately follow the performance May 20th. Committee Reports Planning The upcoming meeting with ConServ representatives was discussed and SDCC Board members were encouraged to participate. Rosedale Forslund reported on the Blitz day project which was completed as planned.
Some additional painting will be done at Pershing and Washington to give all of Rosedale a unified look.
Everyone agreed the barricades looked much, much better. Parkview Mahon reported that they are preparing for their annual meeting May 15 at Grace Methodist.
For Blitz day, their concentration was on the Pershing and Washington parks which were mowed, raked and cleaned.
This year’s Thurtene carnival included 1 fight on Limits Walk, and about 15 towed cars. Trash was bad on Sunday morning but was picked up by Sunday night, although Forest Park Parkway was fairly littered. (Editor’s Note: At the Parkview annual meeting, three new agents were elected to replace retiring agents Gary Carr, Roger Debenport, and Morey Gardner.
The new agents are: Sheryl Dobbin, George Genung and Tom Knoten. Re-elected were Mary Fleener, Bryan Gerard and Jim Merlo.)
