BOARD PRIORITIES

A. Parking on College Terrace streets:

The PAPD has completed a cost analysis of 3 possible options for dealing with parking on the streets. Kathy and Alexandra then met with PAPD representatives who will revise their cost analysis using their input. After this revised cost estimate is available, Alexandra will consult with the CTTC to keep them informed. Also, Alexandra is working on a presentation of options for impacted areas of College Terrace.

B. Neighborhood traffic study:

The first neighborhood meeting, with a presentation by traffic consultants, will be Tuesday, November 18, 7-9 pm, at Escondido School Library. A 30 page draft report by Kimley-Horn and Associates is available for CTTC and board members to review. Board members comments to Grace or Kathy by Monday would be helpful. The CTTC will be planning the meeting and CTRA board members will work to ensure a good turn-out. Grace and Paula will post flyers and sandwich boards along College Ave. The board agreed to emphasize that this is the first of a series of meetings to learn and discuss options for traffic calming.

C. Newsletter:

Jonathan will attempt to have the next newsletter ready to deliver by Saturday, 11/15.

The front page story will be the Traffic Study meeting. Other possible stories include a showcase of the CT library, a profile of a long-time CT resident or an oral history.

OFFICERS' REPORTS

A. President:

Kathy proposed that we arrange coffees with key council members to present them our updated Issues and Opportunities paper and bring them up to speed on CT concerns.

She also reported that candidates who attended the ice-cream social were very impressed by the tone of the gathering and the nature of CT residents questions.

B. Treasurer:

Kathy distributed Grace's 2nd quarter report. We received $1005.00 in membership income and paid out $346.33 in expenses, resulting in a net increase of $658.67 for the quarter.

All remaining officers' reports were deferred to next month in an effort to end the meeting early so that interested board members could focus on election results of the evening.

NEXT MEETING:

The next meeting will be Tuesday, December 2, from 7:15 to 9:00 pm. Erika has offered her home on the condition that her planned remodeling allows it. She will update the board by e-mail.
