Mr. Ball motioned to approve the minutes of April 3rd; Ms. Kiss-Baldwin seconded. All in favor, motion
carried.
BLOCK CAPTAIN PROJECT:
Ms. Tanaka mentioned that she sent an email with a list of potential questions to ask the businesses.
She asked if those questions are ok with the board and putting them into the spreadsheet. The board
agreed they are fine.
Ms. Davis asked if someone has the map to review. Ms. Tanaka said she has the picture on her pc. She
also said they should have started this April 1st as a lot of her neighbors are already closed now.
Ms. Davis said she put the questions into the Google doc. She said she thinks it would be helpful to
revisit the blocks and ask people to recommit to the blocks or not. She thinks we should cancel the next
meeting to work on this. Everyone can check the spreadsheet for progress on each person. She said she
also made the half pager, and the city can print a stack of them. It is helpful if everyone could look at it
and then move forward.
Ms. Henning said she can print the half pager and whomever wishes can come by and pick them up.
Ms. Tanaka asked if June is ok since town is closed right now. She also asked if Council or Mayor Torre
had said anything.
Mr. Ball said he feels June is best. The issue is if we choose June 5th, that leaves them the month of May.
He then suggested they be done by the 19th of June.
Ms. Henning said she did hear back from the Mayor and he is ok with their project moving forward.
Ms. Raj entered the meeting at 8:50 a.m. She asked how it was going with everyone. She said people are
really responsive with her.
Ms. Tanaka said she’s had a lot of seasonal applicants dropping off resumes. She went through the
questions one by one and said she has had people mostly complaining about parking and construction.
She said there has not been any complaints regarding disturbances or public safety.
Ms. Raj said Dior is moving back to her block and she will talk to them. Ms. Davis said she will delete
them from her list.
