October's NPU-R Meeting....

Our monthly Neighborhood Planning Unit meeting was unproductive and actually brought to an end because a local restaurant brought in food and the chairperson thought is was more important to eat then to discuss NPU Business. How sad is that to hear, that eating would be more important than doing the job that you were elected to do. This type of blatant disdain for our community planning must STOP. We have people in place whom do not truly support us as a community and that is why so few of us attend and or participate because of the elected persons that chair the board.

Next month there will be an election to held to replace the sitting chair members and I and several of the community residents and business people feel the they should be replaced. Please NPU-R residents I urge you to attend the November 7th meeting at the Young YMCA at 7 pm to help elect a new board of chairpersons to serve our community and it's best interest. The NPU was designed to serve as the communities voice to City Hall. The salary for these positions are nominal but the community impact is huge. If we close our minds and eyes to what is happening in our communities we lose and trust me we have lost so much by allowing the sitting chairs to stay, whom are incredibly self serving.

Several neighbors are prepared to run for these positions and even I am ready to throw my name into the that group to help make mine and the surrounding communities as best as possible. Please do a little research and join us to make a stand against poor community management and to have your voice heard and your wants and needs listened to, responded to and implemented if viable, Peace.
