4. Legislative reports: Henak covered his ongoing meetings with Westgate developers now that TJMaxx is moving across Whitney Way. He also attended the Orchard Ridge meeting regarding the proposed apartment complex at the Babe’s property. Some residents fears/concerns were allayed. He said he would check on the Segoe Park improvements to see if they were done by 7/1, or at least would not interfere with the Segoe Park Concerts. Recent city project accomplishments affecting the area include the Beltline pedestrian bridge repair, Allied Dr., dissolution of the Allied Dr. Task Force, Dunn’s Marsh development and creation of Opportunity Zones.
Reminded folks that road improvements roll on a 2-4 year planning to fruition calendar. See tips on the city streets website. There is ongoing Wingra watershed/recreation path planning.
Henak will convene a joint neighborhood meeting with representatives from all 6 neighborhoods in his alder district on 6/29, to facilitate communication among the groups. Also, a golf course committee is in the works at the order of the mayor to deal with long-range golf course use/planning.
His office hours are 45 minutes prior to each MCHA meeting at the Sequoya Library.
5. Membership: Newsletter and membership form are getting finalized soon. Tom will seek website volunteers who know the PHP program to assist him with membership duties/tracking. He would like Board members to respond to his upcoming online registration test request.
6. Picnic: Set for 6/20 with rain date on 6/27 (and in Midvale Lutheran Church if rain on 6/27). Cardin reminded folks to volunteer to set up picnic and scoop ice cream. Raihala/Henak will check availability of mounted police or firefighters at picnic.
7. Announcements: Suggestion to invite mayor to speak at October meeting.
Lamb reviewed the final setup for the Segoe Concerts in July with bands, vendors, permits, ads/notices, porta-potty, signs and rain location.
