• Vol. 120, No. 3
A NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION SINCE
1881 |
The committees
suggested in our by-laws,
some of which have been renamed by the Board, are:
Internal Development
At two meetings of the new Board of
Directors, we began the task of discussing what our role will be, prepared
an agenda, and chose committees to join. It is our hope and expectation
that most EVPA members will join the committees that most appeal to their
skills and interests, so that all of us will be working together as
involved, active members of the Association. At our March meeting, the
committees will be introduced and members will have the chance to
join.
The Officers and Board Members look forward
to seeing you at the March 15th meeting, and also hope to see you at upcoming committee
meetings.
-- Lion Barnett,
President
Highlights from February
Meeting
In addition to the elections described
elsewhere in this newsletter, the Monster Homes issue was discussed with
an update on Supervisor Leno's Special Use District (SUD) proposal. Lion
Barnett and Judy Hoyem gave an update on the negotiations between
neighbors and Leno's office. A city-wide SUD has been abandoned in favor
of one covering only District 8. Changiz Khazeni will team with Judy in
subsequent meetings.
The development of 567 Sanchez was
discussed. The membership approved submission of a letter supporting the
Sanchez Hill Neighborhood Association in their efforts at appealing the
decision denying DR to the Board of Supervisors.

President's Message
At our last meeting, EVPA members nominated
and elected a Corresponding Secretary and Board of Directors to fill
positions that had previously been left vacant. When our association was
operating with very few active members, we sometimes did not even have
enough participants at meetings to be the six directors. And for years our
Secretary was both Recording and Corresponding.
Gerald and I did much of the work. However,
we now seem to have general membership meetings with 30 or more members,
and so will be able to operate in a much more formal manner in accordance
with our own by-laws.
The full list of EVPA Officers and Board
Members is:
-
President,
Lion
Barnett
-
Vice-President,
Gerald Abbott
-
Treasurer,
Heide
Chipp
-
Recording Secretary,
Mike Babbitt
-
Corresponding Secretary,
Gustavo Serina
-
Board members:
Judy Hoyem, Joe Foster, Nila Camino, Andrew Bertagnolli,
Michael Crawford, Herb Cohn
-
Immediate Past President,
Rachel Heyman
In addition, we are re-instituting the use
of committees to handle much of the association's business. The purpose of
the committees is to develop guidelines for EVPA's responses to various
neighborhood issues, and therefore to address matters either before they
come to the general membership, or when the membership sends them to
committee for more research. Of course, this procedure requires a rather
lengthy timeline, so many concerns will still be dealt with at the monthly
meeting, though hopefully with the help of committee comment and
policy.
