The Board of the SDCC approved revisions to their by-laws at the January 14, 2019, meeting, including a major change to the structure of the Delmar Commercial Committee.
This Committee will be renamed the Commercial Districts Committee and will incorporate DeBaliviere as a target area.
In addition, after more than twenty five years, I will be retiring as Chairman of the Committee, and Randy Vines will become Chairman. Vines has lived in the neighborhood, Forest Park Condos on the 6100 block of Washington, for several years, and is a small business owner of STLStyle, an independent retail and online business located on Cherokee Street.
He has served on the Delmar Committee for the past five years, and he is a member of the City of St. Louis Preservation Commission and the Planning and Zoning Board.
His experience and residency are among his excellent credentials for this committee chairmanship. Committee members who will continue to serve in 2019 include: Residents: Anne Voss, Lana Stein, Loretta Lloyd, Jo Ann Vatcha, James Handson, Sharon Spann, Randy Vines, Richard Bose; Businesses and Organizations: Paul and Susanne Schoomer, Rachelle L’Ecuyer, Dave Mastin, Eric Friedman, Steve Condrin, Joanna Schooler, Todd Antoine, Kevin Barbeau, Kevin Flynn, Joe Edwards. Other business owners, neighborhood residents, and representatives of active organizations will continue to be invited to attend meetings. New Chairman Randy Vines will be inviting other neighbors to join the committee’s work, especially as its role expands to DeBaliviere. Chairing the committee has been an honor–and a really exciting part of my life–for many years, and I “retire” with gratitude and pride.
The energy and enthusiasm of our new chairman bodes well for continued accomplishments, and I’m so glad to have recruited such a great new leader.
As the Pace development at Delmar and Skinker with its new CVS store gets underway, and with Joe Edwards’ renovation of the old Olivet Baptist Church and adjoining new Magic Mini-Golf, we will have much to report in the coming year!
To read the specifics of the by-laws changes to Delmar Committee adopted 1/14/19, contact SDCC Director Brandon Sterling, or email Jo Ann Vatcha at jvatcha@gmail.com.
