| (cont'd) 353 W 16th Street - House owner's neglect of upkeep of house unsightly. Many problems from overgrown grass to house deterioration. City looking after. "Candy House" - little if no activity recently. Chief Murphy said to call if it picks up again. D.A.R.E. - programs have been cancelled in most school districts. Per the Chief, he says it's not working, but G.R.E.A.T. is and that program will continue. School programs - discussions on budget cuts, teacher jobs & pay, the "No Child Left Behind" program & it's unfair assessment of the success of our schools. The Star Newspaper - continual disappointment of the unfairness of how they report and the negative impact they are giving to readers and potential residents about Chicago Heights. Overall, it's been a rather quite summer. The recent rains have kept the kids off the streets. ---------------------------------------------- Current Committtees and Committee Head: Flyers/Notices - Greg Matthias, 17th St Litter-Control - Carbajals, 16th Pl MORE HELP NEEDED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: Distribution of flyers/notices Litter-Control volunteers ---------------------------------------------- |

Topics of discussion: New Resident & Member - Welcome Rich Gereg, elder of Deer Creek Christian Church. He bought the house next to the church. Flyers - not everyone received it. Committees - there are residents in charge of certain responsibilities. There is need for involvement so not all the work falls on the block captain(s). Ward Meetings - proving to be good. Only negative is not enough time to hear all attending. Mopeds - are illegal on streets if not licensed. Police will ticket rider & confiscate vehicle. If you see where they go or live, call police. Riders, most young, underage disobey and disregard stops & safety rules. Many continually beep their horns which has become very annoying to residents.

Aunt Martha's - has quieted down since they moved in last year Cars with loud booming music -. Chief Murphy said if possible, get license and report it. |
