Representative ___ responded that there is an attorney who is shaking down the restaurants and bars for failing to post warning signs re the drinking water possibly containing certain contaminants. The fine is $2,000/day. A new bill would allow time for the businesses to cure the failure. Faljean asked about AB405 re tolls on the 110/10.

REQUEST FOR AGENDA ITEM SEEKING APPROVAL OF FUNDING, PROGRAMS, OR EVENTS

Date May 27th, 2013 Name/Committee: Anne-Marie Johnson Text of Motion on the Agenda*: The Silver Lake Neighborhood Council will assist the LAPD, through a pilot program, with regard to notification and if warranted, identifying to the LAPD, those in the Silver Lake community who violate and/or continue to violate LAMC Section 112.04 which bans the use of gas powered leaf blower devices. FORMTEXT: Describe the event/project in detail. Include as much supplemental information as possible (background information; supporting and opposing viewpoints, if available, etc.) Attach additional sheets as necessary FORMTEXT . LAMC Section 112.04 became in effect on February 13, 1998. "No gas powered blower shall be used within 500 feet of a residence at anytime. Both the user of such a blower as well as the individual who contracted for the services of the use if any, shall be subject to the requirements of and penalty provisions for this ordinance. Violation of the provisions of this subsection shall be punishable as an infraction in an amount not to exceed $100.00 (one hundred dollars). This section does not preclude anyone from using other devices such as gas powered vacuum device or electric leaf blower. Officers enforce LAMC section 112.04(c) in the same manner as any other infraction. The LAPD has primary enforcement responsibility for this Ordinance. Community members may also register complaints with the Street Use Inspection Division, Department of Public Works. Leaf Blower Hotline Number is (800) 996-CITY." Based on several studies, including A Report To The California Legislature On The Potential Health and Environmental Impacts of Leaf Blowers", gas powered leaf blowers cause air and noise pollution and threaten the general health of all who are subjected to the unlawful use. The dust generated by leaf blowers include particulates made up of spores, dirt, bacteria, human and animal fecal matter and other harmful organisms. The gas used to power these blowers pollute the air and the noise generated by these machines not only violate noise ordinances in Los Angeles but negatively impact the quality of life for those subjected to the unlawful use. To assist residents who may feel powerless or who may be hesitant to confront a neighbor or hesitant to call the police to file a report, the SLNC will create a flyer made available to board members and Silver Lake stakeholders, which will be prominently posted on the SLNC website, providing the full text of the ordinance, the amount of any fine attached to violating the ordinance, the Leaf Blower HotLine number and the availability of the SLNC to assist Silver Laker residents in either addressing the problem with those who are violating the ordinance or assist in contacting the appropriate city agencies. The flyer can be placed in the mail box of the home/business, whose owner violates LAMC 112.04(c), on the vehicle used by the offending gardener or wherever appropriate. In 2009, the Studio City Neighborhood Council produced and distributed a public service announcement condemning the use of gas leaf powers, highlighting the damage they cause to the environment and to children, the elderly and those susceptible to lung disease. The PSA reminded the viewer that the use of gas powered leaf blowers were prohibited under most circumstances and encouraged all to obey the law. Years ago the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council passed a motion supporting the ban on gas leaf blowers but took no other pro-active action. At a minimum, it should be the responsibility of the SLNC to follow suit and reach out and educate our residence to adhere to the ban, respect the quality of life of others and protect the environment overall. What is the perceived/potential impact on the community if we adopt the motion (pro and con)?

Pro: Those who are inconvenienced, offended and concerned for of the potential health threat from the unlawful use of gas powered leaf blowers but are reluctant to file a complaint and/or confront their neighbor, will have the assistance of the SLNC to mediate and/or successfully resolve this problem. An official flyer sponsored by the SLNC, explaining LAMC 112.04(c) will help remind and educate our neighbors regarding the unlawful use of gas leaf blowers. The involvement of the SLNC will assist an already taxed, over-burdened and understaffed LAPD. Con: Some may consider this just one more aspect of a "big brother" attitude within the SLNC. Some may fear that going after gardeners who use leaf blowers will appear to be an attack on a particular community who may have no other means to perform their jobs efficiently. Some property owners may be concerned with the potential increase in gardening fees if they are prevented from using gas blowers. What is the total budget for the project? How much is the SLNC asked to commit? Are there alternate funding sources? (Please attach itemized budget.) The cost of having a flyer created and copied. Cost not to exceed $500.00

What is the timeline for the project? (Be sure to include deadline for Board action, major dates, etc.) As soon as practicable. From which budget line(s) are the funds to be drawn? General funds

How will this motion be implemented, and by whom? Implemented by the board. I (Anne-Marie Johnson) volunteer to oversee this pilot program.

*If motion is approved, please be sure to see the Treasurer to fill out a Demand Warrant so that payment may be issued promptly.

REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY, EXPERIMENTAL CHANGE IN FORMAT OF

VISIONS, ISSUES AND GOALS CIRCLE – JULY 2013

Date May 27th, 2013

Name/Committee From the Desk of Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, SLNC vice-chair Text of Motion on the Agenda*: In order to encourage more active visioning from all members, on a trail basis, I move that the upcoming July Visions, Issues and Goals Circle be Officially Hosted by another two board members rather than the Vice-Chair . Vice-chair will secure space, promote the Circle and introduce the new format, and then these ‘acting vice-chairs’ will take it away, per usual. Describe the event/project in detail. Include as much supplemental information as possible (background information; supporting and opposing viewpoints, if available, etc.) Attach additional sheets as necessary Normally per tradition, the Visions, Issues and Goals Circle is run buy the SLNC vice-chair and a small team of volunteers. For july’s Circle, based on democratizing instinct, a desire to hear from and empower others, as well as feedback from the board that there may be bias in any one persons facilitation, Vice Chair requests to support OTHER board members in facilitating the Silver Lake Visions, Issues and Goals circle. What is the perceived/potential impact on the community if we adopt the motion (pro and con)? Pro: Encourage voices among us who may not ordinarily facilitate in this kind of format. Open up to the possibility of a fluid kind of leadership that facilitates the voices & ideas of others, not just his/her own. Discover/ develop new leadership & voices within our group. Discover new ways of facilitating transfer of leadership – might be a model for other leaders across the board to facilitate other members stepping into aspects of their current leadership tasks. Con: Traditionally we do it another way. Traditions can be good and we will be experimenting with something that is working. What is the total budget for the project? How much is the SLNC asked to commit? Are there alternate funding sources? (Please attach itemized budget.) NO BUDGET THIS EVENT WILL NOT COST THE SLNC What is the timeline for the project? (Be sure to include deadline for Board action, major dates, etc. IMMEDIATE

How will this motion be implemented, and by whom?

IF THE SLNC APPROVES THIS MOTION, WE WILL IMMEDIATELY TAKE NOMINATIONS IN TEAMS OF TWO AND THEN HAVE A QUICK ELECTION BASED ON A PREFERENTIAL BALLOT (WE WILL EACH WRITE THE TEAMS NAMES PLUS A NUMBER IN PREFERENTIAL ORDER 1, 2, 3… our preferred team being number 1, and so on down the line). THE TEAM RECEIVING THE LEAST POINTS WINS THE LEADERSHIP OF THE JULY ISSUES, VISIONS AND GOALS CIRCLE. NOTE: THIS TEAM WILL SIMPLY SHOW UP AND FACILITATE: ALL ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE VICE-CHAIR/TEAM. A SINGULAR BOARD MEMBER MAY BE NOMINATED AND ACCEPT TO BE PART OF MORE THAN ONE TEAM. ALL BOARD MEMBERS WILL VOTE FOR ALL TEAMS – IN PREFERENTIAL ORDER - OR THEIR VOTE WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

What is the perceived/potential impact on the community if we adopt the motion (pro and con)? Pro: Community Garden space has proven to be good for the mind, body and spirit of Silver Lake Con: Community Gardens require water we don’t have and can’t afford, Community spaces will be public safety hazards. What is the total budget for the project? How much is the SLNC asked to commit? Are there alternate funding sources? (Please attach itemized budget.)

REQUEST FOR AGENDA ITEM SEEKING

APPROVAL OF PROGRAMS AND/OR EVENTS Date: May 25, 2013 Name/Committee: Outreach Committee Text of Motion on the Agenda: The Silver Lake Neighborhood Council moves to create a task group (ad hoc committee) to research issues of transgender discrimination and to propose policies, actions and events designed to increase transgender visibility* and to make Silver Lake more welcoming to transgender persons. The Transgender task group will be open to the community. Meetings will be agendized and noticed in compliance with the Brown Act. The Transgender task group will complete its work by December 1, 2013. Describe the event/project in detail. According to The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality survey,** “Transgender and gender non-conforming people face injustice at every turn: in childhood homes, in school systems that promise to shelter and educate, in harsh and exclusionary workplaces, at the grocery store, the hotel front desk, in doctors’ offices and emergency rooms, before judges and at the hands of landlords, police officers, health care workers and other service providers” The SLNC Transgender Task Group will meet with Transgender advocacy groups to determine the best ways to counter discrimination against transgender persons in Silver Lake. Policy recommendations, actions and events may include education, outreach, arts and culture, governmental affairs, youth, elders, issues of visibility, and creating a welcoming neighborhood environment. What is the perceived/potential impact on the community if we adopt the motion (pro and con)? Pro: The Silver Lake Neighborhood Council has an opportunity to confront transgender discrimination head on, increase transgender visibility, and make Silver Lake and Los Angeles a safer and more welcoming place for everyone. Con: Some people may feel that issues of transgender discrimination are adequately addressed by the Los Angeles Unified School District, the City of Los Angeles and the State of California. What is the total budget for the project? No funds are being requested at this time. What is the timeline for the project? The Transgender Task Group will start work immediately and complete its work by December 1, 2013.

From which budget line are the funds to be drawn? No funds are being requested at this time. How will this motion be implemented, and by whom? The Transgender Task Group will operate under the Outreach Committee. Outreach Secretary Teresa Sitz will provide logistical support for the group. * Though transgender persons have been on the forefront of LGBT struggles for equal rights, as in the Stonewall Riots, transgender persons continue to face discrimination in the community at large, and transgender interests are often not fully represented in the LGB community. ** Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, by The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality http://transequality.org/PDFs/Executive_Summary.pdf

The project involves rehabilitation of the Micheltorena Street Steps, from Sunset Boulevard to

Larissa Drive. The project aims to replace poor street lighting with colored, low-energy street

poles to encourage safety and visibility of these steps as well as make them a noticeable

community asset.

Construction is expected in late June of 2013, coordinated with the end of the school year and a

construction project of street bulb-outs on Sunset Boulevard.

With new and vibrant lighting, the steps would become a noticeable community asset as with time

they have become a background element and often the site of homeless. Awareness of these steps

would also make them safer. Micheltorena Street Steps are on a Safe Route to School, and any

improvement in these steps' visibility would make them safer.

The permitting process with the City of Los Angeles has been tough. Agencies refer to other

agencies, and no one wants to take responsibility. Councilman Garcetti's office has been offering

help, but it has not yet been forthcoming. The project has been under review with Bureau of Street

Lighting for two months, and as of last week appears to have made some progress.

NEIGHBORHOOD PURPOSES GRANT PROJECT COMPLETION FORM Please complete the following information regarding the Neighborhood Purposes Grant your organization received from the Neighborhood Council listed below. Awarding Neighborhood Council: Silver Lake NC Applicant Name: Silver Lake Improvement Association Grant Amount: $ 2,000 Date Granted: May 2012 Please answer the following questions regarding the grant funding referred to above. Attach additional pages if necessary. 1. Please provide a summary of the overall project for which funding was granted.

Provide overall maintenance of street surface and watering 34 planters in the Sunset Triangle Plaza, which opened March 2012. CD 13 was able to provide funding through Hollywood Beautification Team starting in June, so funding was used after that time as needed to provide additional maintenance before/after special events, namely the Silver Lake Picture Show. SLIA requested that half of the SLNC funding be transferred to another ongoing project: Sunset Underpass on Silver Lake Blvd.

2. Please detail the projected community impact and the actual outcome.

Provide esthetically pleasing area for visitors to the Plaza, which has become very popular. Yummy.com opened a full-service market this month, and a new Asian restaurant is planning a November opening, which will combine 2 presently vacant spaces. Both businesses will provide additional furniture for the Plaza, which is much needed. Events: Silver Lake Picture Show will return this summer for multiple shows; the venue will host a concert for Make Music LA, and Silver Lake Social is planning to host acoustic music the first Friday of each month starting in July. Although $1,000 grant funding was ultimately allocated for the Plaza, a total of $1,312.50 was actually spent for maintenance. (Although $1,000 funding was transferred to the Sunset Underpass, actual expenses totaled $1,125 for that project.)

3. Please describe any challenges as well as solutions where appropriate.

Challenges: Keeping up w/incidentals, i.e. trash pick-up by apartment building, occasional graffiti issues, are solved by reports of diligent visitors to the Plaza

May 15, 2013 NEIGHBORHOOD PURPOSES GRANT PROJECT COMPLETION FORM Please complete the following information regarding the Neighborhood Purposes Grant your organization received from the Neighborhood Council listed below. Awarding Neighborhood Council: Silver Lake Applicant Name: Theodore Payne Foundation Grant Amount: $1,250 Date Granted: March 2012 And Grant Amount: $707.18 Date Granted: August 2012 Please answer the following questions regarding the grant funding referred to above. Attach additional pages if necessary. 1. Please provide a summary of the overall project for which funding was granted. We created a 3,500 square foot Native Demonstration Garden at the north end of the Silver Lake Meadow in an existing planting that was largely still empty but had some natives and 5 non-native trees (the non-native trees were relocated). 2. Please detail the projected community impact and the actual outcome. Native plants demonstrate our natural inheritance and the regional character of our landscape. They not only add beauty to the world, but are the foundation of the entire food web. This native garden, in a highly visible public space, will teach community members that native plants use one-seventh the amount of water of most non-natives, save energy (20% of all of California’s energy is used to pump and treat water), and support wildlife, because 90% of insect species can eat only plants that are native to their region. For healthy ecosystems, we need native plants, which are the foundation. With the first grant of $1,250, Theodore Payne Foundation staff researched the site and met several times with the volunteer co-coordinators, key SLNC staff and representatives from the Dept. of Recreations and Parks. They created a plant list and plan. They also laid out watering and maintenance requirements. With second grant of $708, plus $600 leftover from the first grant, Theodore Payne provided the listed plants and supervised their installation in Nov. 2012. Since

then, they have also regularly consulted with the volunteers, and staff members have led two of the monthly volunteer workdays. Theodore Payne continues to be a resource for the community efforts at the Meadow Native Garden, and has consulted on supplemental planning for fall 2013. Most plants have thrived and by spring 2014, we will really begin to see what an amazing place the Meadow Native Garden will be. 3. Please describe any challenges as well as solutions where appropriate. We have had several water breaks at the Meadow so we hand water as necessary. We are keep abreast of any problems and repairs by Rec & Parks Gardener John Garcia, as well as his supervisor Mark Jackson, both of whom have been very supportive and helpful with our work. Along with the existing irrigation, the additional hand watering that will be required through this first summer will be a big task for the volunteers. Mr. Jackson and the City’s Tom Gibson are also helping us look into a tool shed and sign for the garden. Our biggest challenge now, however, is recruiting more neighborhood volunteers for the watering, weeding and mulching necessary to maintain the garden. We have a dedicated core of 6-10 adults, plus 20-25 Marshall High students under the director of Environmental Science Head, Jay Benoit who have helped at most of the work days. However, we need more. We intend to increase volunteer participation via three ways:

1) Move our last Sat. of the month work time from early morning to late afternoon, a time when many families and visitors are out on the Meadow, so that we might attract more attention to our work;

2) Put flyers up in neighborhood businesses; 3) Approach other youth groups, including the Girl Scouts; and 4) Conduct a fall bake sale to raise money and awareness.

NOTICE TO AMEND THE BYLAWS

Date: May 17, 2013 Name/Committee: Teresa Sitz, Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, Amy Clarke, Flor Cruz, Dale Benson, Leonardo Chalupowicz, Frances Tran, Ken Sitz, Allison Kelly, James Bigelow The Amendment: To amend Article IV, paragraph 2, of the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council Bylaws, by inserting the term “gender identity and expression” after the words “sexual orientation.”

Describe the event/project in detail.

Current Bylaws To amend Article IV, paragraph 2, of the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council Bylaws, by inserting the term “gender identity and expression” after the words “sexual orientation.”

Proposed Amendment To amend Article IV, paragraph 2, of the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council Bylaws, by inserting the term “gender identity and expression” after the words “sexual orientation.”

The SLNC and its Governing Board will encourage all Community Stakeholders to participate in its activities and will not discriminate in any of its policies, recommendations or actions against any individual or group on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender, marital status, homeowner/renter status, income, or political affiliation.

The SLNC and its Governing Board will encourage all Community Stakeholders to participate in its activities and will not discriminate in any of its policies, recommendations or actions against any individual or group on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, disability, gender, marital status, homeowner/renter status, income, or political affiliation.

The State of California outlaws discrimination against transgender persons through the Gender Nondiscrimination Bill of 2003 (AB 196). In the law gender was redefined to include gender identity and expression. “‘Gender’ means sex, and includes a person’s gender identity and gender related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth.” California Penal Code 422.56(c)8 The National Center for Lesbian Rights and the Transgender Law Center recommends that, “Employers who have not already done so, should bring their employment policies in line with state law by clearly defining “sex” or “gender” to include gender identity or by adding the phrase “gender identity and

expression” to their existing policy. Such modifications are important in order to put all employees on notice that transgender employees are respected and protected in the workplace.”

The Silver Lake Neighborhood Council Bylaws state that we will follow state law. This is an opportunity for us to expand our bylaws to include transgender persons in our bylaws and stand up for their rights in our neighborhood and our state.

What is the perceived/potential impact on the community if we adopt the motion (pro and con)? Pro: The change would bring the non-discrimination policy of the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council in line with California State Law. Con: Some people may think that “gender identity and expression” is implied in the terms “gender” or “sexual orientation.” What is the total budget for the project? There are no costs associated with this change. What is the timeline for the project? According to the SLNC bylaws we must do the following. By May 22, 2013 The Amendment must be distributed at least fourteen (14) days before the Governing Board meeting at which it will be agendized. May 27, 2013 The Amendment will be submitted for inclusion on the Governing Board Agenda under New Business. June 5, 2013 The Amendment will be discussed. The Secretary of the Board will prepare a summary of the discussion on the amendment for distribution to the Community. June 20, 2013 The Board will make the proposed Amendment, together with supporting or opposing arguments, available to the Community at least fourteen (14) days before a meeting to decide the matter. June 24, 2013 A motion to pass the amendment will be submitted for inclusion on the Governing Board Agenda. July 3, 2013 The Amendment must be approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the Board members present. By July 16, 2013 Within fourteen (14) days after an Amendment is approved, a Bylaw Amendment Application must be submitted to the Department along with a copy of the existing Bylaws for review and approval by the Department. From which budget line(s) are the funds to be drawn? No funds are being requested. How will this motion be implemented, and by whom? Board member, Teresa Sitz, will shepherd the proposal through the above process. Board Secretary, Rusty Millar, will send the proposal, motion/summary to the board and stakeholders, and the Bylaw Amendment Application by their respective dates.

REQUEST FOR AGENDA ITEM SEEKING APPROVAL OF FUNDING, PROGRAMS, OR EVENTS

Date: May 27, 2012

Name/Committee: History Collective Text of Motion on the Agenda*: The History Collective moves that the SLNC Governing Board provide funding of up to $750 to design, produce and print a brochure on the history of Silver Lake to distribute to the community at the library and events as an education and outreach vehicle. Describe the event/project in detail. Include as much supplemental information as possible (background information; supporting and opposing viewpoints, if available, etc.) Attach additional sheets as necessary. The History Collective would like to produce a keepsake brochure on the history of Silver Lake. The brochure would be an outreach tool to educate people about the rich history of our community, available at the Silver Lake Library and distributed at community events courtesy of the SLNC. The History Collective has already researched and written the copy for the brochure. We would obtain historic images from the photo archives of the Los Angeles Public Library to illustrate it. A local designer has offered to provide her services at a fraction of the normal cost to design and produce a brochure. It would be printed locally in Burbank on recycled paper. What is the perceived/potential impact on the community if we adopt the motion (pro and con)? Pro: Nothing like this has ever been produced to our knowledge, so it will be a unique introduction to Silver Lake and its history. Because the information is timeless, we expect that people will enjoy and keep the brochure for many years, a tangible reminder of our history. It will also serve as an outreach vehicle from the SLNC to the community at large. Con: The information regarding our neighborhood’s rich history will only be available online and not easily accessible by many people. What is the total budget for the project? How much is the SLNC asked to commit? Are there alternate funding sources? (Please attach itemized budget.) There are three costs associated with the project. The designer is charging $200 to create and produce the brochure to go to the printer. The LAPL does not charge usage fees to other city agencies, but we would have to pay for the high-resolution scans required for printing. We estimate needing twelve images at $10/each plus an additional $25 for a CD and shipping. The printing estimate is $388.46 to print 2500 four-color, four panel brochures on recycled stock. We will pick the brochure up in person to save shipping costs.

What is the timeline for the project? (Be sure to include deadline for Board action, major dates, etc.) We estimate 60-90 days to research and obtain the images, design the brochure and have it printed.

From which budget line(s) are the funds to be drawn? Outreach

How will this motion be implemented, and by whom? The History Collective will oversee and implement the project.

*If motion is approved, please be sure to see the Treasurer to fill out a Demand Warrant so that payment may be issued promptly.

REQUEST FOR AGENDA ITEM SEEKING APPROVAL OF FUNDING, PROGRAMS, OR EVENTS

Date: May 17, 2013

Name/Committee: Kathleen Johnson, Julia King, Michael Masterson, Janet Cunningham & Renee Nahum Text of Motion on the Agenda*: We move that the SLNC Governing Board provide $509.61 in additional funding to purchase additional plants and materials for the Silver Lake Meadow Native Garden project. Describe the event/project in detail. Include as much supplemental information as possible (background information; supporting and opposing viewpoints, if available, etc.) Attach additional sheets as necessary. Since the Native Meadow Garden was originally installed in 2012, there has been some loss of plants. This is natural and due to a variety of reasons (including wear and tear from children playing near the inner bed, utility vehicles catching some planted too close to the access pathways, and an extra dry winter in which some baby plants struggled). Now that we have seen which plants are thriving and have observed use patterns, we would like to replace missing plants and add some new varieties to the garden’s ecology. The Native Meadow Garden’s volunteers, working with the Theodore Payne Foundation have compiled a list of new plants and trees to be planted this fall. The plants will be purchased at cost from the Foundation. What is the perceived/potential impact on the community if we adopt the motion (pro and con)? Native plants demonstrate our natural inheritance and the regional character of our landscape. They not only add beauty to the world, but are the foundation of the entire food web. This native garden, in a highly visible public space of the Meadow, will teach community members that native plants use one-seventh the amount of water of most non-natives, save energy (20% of all of California’s energy is used to pump and treat water), and support wildlife, because 90% of insect species can eat only plants that are native to their region. For healthy ecosystems, we need native plants, which are the foundation. The Silver Lake Native Meadow Garden is a wonderful local example and teaching tool. Pro: With this funding, we will be able to replace lost plants and enhance the appearance and variety of the garden, providing a richer habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. The better the garden looks, the more it will be known, appreciated and supported by the community. Con: Without this funding, there will be some visible gaps and empty spaces in the garden, it will take longer to fill in, and it will not have as much plant diversity for wildlife. What is the total budget for the project? How much is the SLNC asked to commit? Are there alternate funding sources? (Please attach itemized budget.) The total budget is $509.61 which includes all new plants and trees as well the mulch needed for them as well as applicable taxes. An itemized plant list and budget is attached. What is the timeline for the project? (Be sure to include deadline for Board action, major dates, etc.) The volunteers will coordinate the planting in October and November 2013.

From which budget line(s) are the funds to be drawn? Community Improvements

How will this motion be implemented, and by whom? The sponsors of the motion, Meadow Native Garden volunteers and the Theodore Payne Foundation will ensure the project is completed.

*If motion is approved, please be sure to see the Treasurer to fill out a Demand Warrant so that payment may be issued promptly.
