ROBERTIS RULES DISCUSSION – Kevan Adams:

Kevan handed out a four page summary of the most@IFUI@ed rules and

reviewed them with us.  We discussed our use of these rules and how we

can better conduct our meetings using them.

SUGAR HOUSE COMMUNITY COUNCIL GOALS DISCUSSION – Kevan Adams:

Kevan explained that we need to consider again what the goals of our

council should be.  Are they the same now as they were when the council

 

was incorporated in 1975?  At that time, some of the goals were

@: 1) to combat neighborhood and community deterioration, 2) provide

for city beautification, and 3) preserve and improve the business,

residential, recreational areas and facilities of the area.  Kevan aske

 

d

each of the trustees to tell us why they wanted to be involved with th

 

e

council.  The following is a summary of these comments: RICH – He felt

there was a lack of communication of what is going on in the community

intelligence, that learning more about the planning pr ocess does make

a

difference.  JUSTIN – He wanted to be involved and to help his

e

first got involved with the crime, school district, and Sugar House

Park issues and has learned that growth can happen when done in an

orderly fashion, not just haphazardly.  ALICE – She first got involved

 

because she saw a need for help with secretary duties, but is now

learning more about planning processes and the importance of having a

plan and would like to help others understand this also.  RAWLINS – He

 

first got involved because of some traffic fatalities in his

neighborhood and has since become a mediator between his neighbors and

 

the elected officials.  He has made efforts to alter policies if they

are not in      with our goals and likes to help shape public policy.

s

in the area, being bussed all over the city.  She is interested in the

historical nature of the area and wants to have a say in what is

happening in the community and likes to know what is going on.  Kevan

meetings.  Their comments included: representing their neighborhood,

concerned with what goes on in the neighborhood, learn what is going o
