2009 Sculpture Tomorrow, Saturday, April 4 there will be a reception event for the Series! The formal kick-off events for this year’s show including a meet-and-greet with the student artists will commence at 2:00 p.m. a Centennial Commons 7120 Olive Blvd. Northmoor residents met the evening of March 2 at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish School Cafeteria to review the Fire Department’s public safety concern regarding parking on the narrow sections of the street impeding emergency vehicles. Council directed staff refrain from making a recommendation to limit parking on Northmoor. Therefore, the issue will not come before Council for discussion or decision. However, they are asking that the neighbors consider structural change to the street, which would accommodate parking on both sides of the street. For a change to move forward a Neighborhood Improvement District (NID) would need to be approved by a majority of the residents. There are a number of options available to residents and the public works staff will be available for assistance should they choose to proceed. City’s ¼-cent Local Draft versions of a citizen survey and brochure relating to the Option Sales Tax, Proposition S , are attached for your review. Please return ideas and feedback to me by April 13. The survey will be made available online via the weekly update, and hard copy will be available for Council distribution. The letter from the Mayor will be included in the upcoming recreation guide.
