Agenda SGNA Board Meeting 

October 9, 2012 

7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

1. Introductions 

2. Call for additions to Agenda 

3. Speaker - From the Portland Bureau of Transportation, Ross Swanson 

4. Discussion and vote - Fall General Meeting Date and Agenda - our by-laws call for a General

Meeting no more than 7 months past the last. Our last General Meeting was April 19th, 2012. Our next General Meeting needs to be held by or before November 19th, 2012. In addition - our Leaf Pick-up Day is currently scheduled for December 14th. The last day to opt out is Nov. 1. If we are to discuss this as a neighborhood, we are well advised to do so by Tuesday, October 30th.

5. Treasurer's Report

6. Land Use - a report on the Grant Park Village Walk-about, a discussion on continued events

and how to raise neighborhood participation and awareness. We face a critical challenge to communicate effectively with our neighbors. Should they choose to ignore our calls, so be it. However, the challenge is to assure ourselves that we have done our all to reach them, before we sigh and turn at hearing no voice in response.

7. Communications - the next newsletter, and a report on current efforts at re-organization and focus.

8. Safety/Emergency 

9. Lifestyles - a report and congratulatory comments on a job well done - by many accounts the

best Gulch-O-Rama ever as we look towards next year and the potential for new leadership. 

10. Concluding remarks

Dave Brook is out of town. The meeting will be chaired by Vice Chair Britt Brewer. The meeting will start promptly and be held to schedule. Leadership will try mightily to keep on schedule and adjourn the meeting at 8:30PM, lest some unexpected challenge be hurled before us to extend our duties.
