Minutes of the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council Meeting of October 5, 1987.
Present: Bob Dowgwillo, Kathleen Hamilton, Karleen Hoerr, Paul Kurtz, Bob Mahon, Jim McLeod, Jim O’Neal, Neville Vatcha, Kathy Wobus, N. Farmer.
Guest: Shirley Polk. McLeod called the meeting to order at 7:40 p.m.
Minutes reviewed: Kurtz moved the minutes be approved as read; second by Hoerr and approved.
Treasurer’s report: Reviewed by Hamilton. Kurtz moved the report be accepted as read; second by Wobus and approved.
Safety Committee: Farmer reported for Chairmen Repetto that the committee met Sept. 28 and discussed the focus of the committee.
The primary crime problems in the neighborhood are residential burglary and auto theft.
The committee agreed to look at ways to try and address these problems. Lee Jacobs of Operation SafeStreet is compiling statistics from the other neighborhoods to compare with our area.
The committee hopes to learn of ideas or programs from other areas that we can use in our neighborhood. Vatcha added that E. Sanders recently rode with the all-volunteer neighborhood patrol in Shaw.
Home Improvement Loan Program: McLeod reported he and Farmer are preparing a proposal for NAP renewal.
Rosedale Neighborhood Association: Dowgwillo reported “Rags to Riches” was a great success; there were 48 registered sales and RNA cleared about $600. That’s $100 more than last year and probably the most to expect from the event.
He thanked everyone who helped.
He also reported he and the RNA board are compiling a list of complaints about the 911 system.
He and others he has talked to are frustrated because police encourage us to call 911, and then when called, the response is poor and slow.
He is aware of three incidents on his block and feels they are not isolated.
He asked everyone to keep a record of their experiences with 911. Vatcha and Fox both commented they have found 911 effective. O’Neal asked if callers should ask the name of the operator who takes the call. Dowgwillo said no; all calls are recorded. It’s somewhat of an ordeal, but the tapes are accessible.
Parkview Agents: Mahon reported the major issue for Parkview right now is their 1988 budget.
They must decide between maintaining a security force or repairing their streets; they cannot afford to do both.
They are considering several options regarding security.
A concern of Parkview is the street solicitation at Millbrook and Skinker. Farmer suggested this is a good issue to bring up at a 7th District Public Affairs meeting. Mahon’s primary concern is safety; it is a dangerous practice at this intersection especially since the solicitors are so young. Vatcha commented he feels it is enterprising, and he doesn’t have a problem with it.
No one complains about young people selling newspapers on the street. O’Neal agreed that it is a safety hazard for the kids and traffic.
M.L. King Commemoration: McLeod reported O’Neal had submitted a proposal to the board at the September meeting for directors to review. O’Neal stated there will be a meeting next Monday, October 12 at 6 p.m. to discuss the proposal. Mahon, Vatcha, Shirley Polk and Jack Wright have agreed to attend. O’Neal has some additional information from Capt. Alphin of the St. Louis Martin Luther King, Jr. Support Group about other activities going on.
He has followed up on some possible locations and sponsors for the event should the committee decide to proceed.
Director’s Report:
Nina Place—Westminster Co. will begin on the first part of Phase I in November, which is the first of two six-family buildings at Waterman and Nina. Farmer helped the Nina Place Advisory Committee set up a public meeting with Dean Burns of Westminster Co., a representative from Pantheon, and Alderman McGuire to discuss the plans in detail on Monday, October 26, 7:30 p.m. at the 28th Ward Headquarters. (Additional information in this issue.)
Bonafide—Several weeks ago, Bonafide started closing at 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 12 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
It was suggested organizations and neighbors write letters thanking them.
Before anyone got letters written, they returned to operating 24 hours a day.
In the last week or so, they have again started closing at 10 p.m. weekdays and midnight weekends. Does the board want to send a letter to Bonafide from SDCC thanking them for reducing their hours?
So moved by Fox, second by Kurtz and approved.
New Business:
Ginny Klevorn—McLeod announced that Tom and Ginny Klevorn are going to Belgium for a couple of years and Ginny will have to leave the SDCC board.
He acknowledged the many things Klevorn has done for SDCC including serving as Secretary and chairman of the Social Service Committee. McLeod has appointed Fox to replace Klevorn as chairperson of the social service committee. McLeod has also talked with Jack Wright about completing Klevorn’s term as an atlarge representative on the board. Wright served the neighborhood and SDCC for many years and would accept the nomination. O’Neal nominated Jack Wright to complete Klevorn’s term as an at-large director on the SDCC board. Second by Fox and approved. Fox thanked the Times on behalf of Regional Hospital for donating left over books from the “Rags to Riches” book sale. McLeod asked about the financial situation of the Times. Dowgwillo responded they are still short on an annual basis, but their board members collectively have pledged $1000.
They will continue to try and raise money.
Meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.
