year & ask candidates to support it. m/s/p Jim R/CeceB Yes 7
#5. Eddie's Market. Wes canvassed the market. Based on his research, some positive suggestions for improving the problem location included: larger poster removal, no loitering signage, better paint job, security guard with a good salary. Absentee owner
remains problem. Our leverage to obtain these changes might be CUP revocation.
#6. It was suggested that SMC's Tom Donner, and the SMC, and UC Regents, meet with us regarding empty lot on 16th St. Discussion followed concerning the difficulty of getting the matter on the radar of colleges, but chance that Donner would meet with us.
#7. Shooting @ 8:30 in the morning on Wednesday, semi automatic weapons.
Concern over the frequency of shootings there, and that particular building (CCSM 1845 17th St) building a neighborhood nuisance. A discussion followed as to a plan for action. Suggestions included having a press conference on site. Landlord ? Who is it. It
was proposed we obtain shooting, crime stats from Don Umber/Police /Neighborhood Watch. Solution to shootings, community needs more police officers.
