Treasurer’s Report. Treasurer Peggy Droege presented the financial report. SDCC ended the year 2003 with 96% of budgeted expenditures and 97% of budgeted revenue.
The proposed 2004 budget was presented and approved unanimously. Security Report. Officer Metz & Sergeant Crow thanked SDCC for the police and firefighters luncheon. No crime statistics were available due to a change to a new reporting system.
The officers reported several recent arrests in connection with robberies in the neighborhood.
There was a question about fines for false alarms from burglar alarms. Burglar alarms should be registered with the police department.
This is normally done by the installation company. Executive Committee. Joe Keavany reported on the election of officers. Liz Johnson was nominated at the last meeting as the only candidate for vice-president.
However, she is an alternate representative for New Cote Brilliante Church of God, and the bylaws do not permit alternates to serve as officers. Joe suggested that the bylaws be amended.
As an alternative, Liz could be made the representative for Cote Brilliante, rather than the alternate. Copies of the bylaws were distributed and discussion followed. Mark LaVelle asked whether all of the positions for “at large” board members were currently filled.
They were not. Liz Johnson was nominated as an at large board member and approved unanimously.
The following slate of candidates for officers was presented and approved unanimously: President–Joe Keaveny; Vice President–Liz Johnson; Treasurer–Peggy Droege; Secretary–Alice Stanley Beautification Committee. Andy Cross reported that planning for the neighborhood Blitz clean up day will be starting in February.
There has been some discussion of a possible special alley clean up project in conjunction with the West End Arts Council. Transportation. Dan Schesch provided an update on issues related to timing of the light at Skinker and Waterman.
The light at Waterman continues to cycle such that all traffic is not able to get through during rush hours. Dan presented a diagram showing the twoway section of the 6100 block of Pershing at Skinker.
There has been concern that some drivers still believe this section is one way west bound and that the confusion could cause accidents.
The proposed solution is to paint stripes on the street showing the twoway section, and paint left turn and right turn arrows in the west bound section.
The council voted unanimously to endorse this solution. Washington University has installed parking meters on the lot of the 276 Skinker building.
This is meant to ensure that the parking is used by business patrons and not for long term parking.
There is some concern that the meters may increase the number of business patrons who park on the street.
There had been questions about how soon the bridge across Forest Park Parkway at Skinker would be installed. Metro reports that this will not occur before mid-April. Utility relocation that must occur before the bridges as installed are not scheduled until mid-April. Executive Directors Report.

West End Arts Council. Andy Cross reported that the grant application to the Regional Arts Commission is due soon.
