  lV.     Announcements and Additions to Agenda:
        - A tours of second units, additions and new cottages in the 
neighborhood was organized by Esther Polito for the City planning 
staff.  Old North provided each of them a packet that included our 
neighborhood pamphlet and J. Lofland’s book and map of recent  and 
current work going on.  There is lots of building and remodeling 
activity in the neighborhood.
           - 5th & G, Chuck Rowe’s Project (officially 435 G Street) 
has been modified from the picture that appeared in the Enterprise 
recently.  The project includes 8 townhouses  above retail and an 
atruim open to the sky. The possiblitty of contamination at the site 
from the previous gasoline tanks was discussed; the Planning Commission 
recommended approval contingent on full remediation.
          -Police responded to a party at 5th & D.

  V.      New Business 
         A.  School District Discussion of Headquarters Block  This 
property is a major concern for our neighborhood.  There has been 
recent discussion of the district selling the property for development, 
in response to budget shortfalls and as part of a plan to full utilize 
the Mace Ranch facility.  The board did decide to open Mace 
Ranch gradually, as an Elementary School; the district offices will 
remain in place for now.   The ONDNA will monitor developments on this.

  Vl.     Old Business
        A. Parking District   The city provided us with a new, 
corrected map on which parking spaces  have been marked.  For the most 
part, there are two spaces together at the lot line.  There was 
discussion/concerb about overparking blocking driveways.  A small 
number of  spaces may be changed, but we will ask the city to proceed 
with marking the spaces and give our new plan a try.
        B.  5th & F Streets  Steve and Bruce drafted a letter to Bob 
Weir suggesting the traffic report remains flawed, and that the current 
suggestion to go to the Safety Advisory Board ignores previous 
agreements about neighborhood consultation.  ON feel they should not 
proceed at this point.  We have not yet received a reply.
        C.  Trash Pick-Up  We continue to struggle with street 
pick-up.  We have few curb cuts, the carts are difficult to roll over 
the curb, and many are left out in the front  yard.  Z worked with DWR 
to demonstrate that the trucks do fit in the alleys.  We would still 
like a serious trial of alley pick-up.  This may mean we do some 
pruning and carefully place our carts in areas that have he best access 
for the truck.  Bruce will work with Dan to move forward with a serious 
alley test.

Presentation by Mike Corbett on Covell Village (8:15-9:00)
