  • Holiday party – spent $291 but budget was $500

  • Will need to formalize in the bylaws that this equipment will remain in possession of the VP of operations (in the future) – Paul will work on this

3. New business

  • Member in good standing policy – last 4 years has basically been for getting credit for doing anything good for the neighborhood
  • 3 events in the last 6 months – previous to the meeting where there will be a vote
    • Attend meeting
    • COP Walk
    • Distribute newsletter
    • Previously sanctioned events (long list on the website)
  • Bill provided some history of the evolution of “member in good standing”
  • Julie asked what is the point? Does it exclude people without adding anything?
  • Paul explained that the point is to protect us from a “mob” type situation where one person can get a group of people to vote the way they indicate

Add to list – helping with MFP

Board recommends to the community to vote – so we can present how to move forward on member in good standing.

How do other neighborhood associations do this? Citizens of Pigtown charge dues, federal hill as well, we will look into this.

Bobby would like to carry forward existing list + MFP – motion made to present this to community meeting in February – operating policy will continue until we discuss again in a month or two
