Kirkland Library Meeting Room
Laura Lee Pritt
called the meeting to order. Laura Lee mentioned a few items that might
be of interest to neighborhood residents. The City of Kirkland is
seeking applicants to fill five to seven individual terms of varying length on
the newly created Cultural Council, which has five current members. The
Council will ultimately consist of no less than seven, and no more than
fifteen members. For more information, check the City's web site: http://www.ci.kirkland.wa.us/depart/commissions/cultural_council.htm
The city also has
a "Neighborhood Toolkit" -- a resource for resolving problems such
as loud parties or abandoned boats that might occur in our area. http://www.ci.kirkland.wa.us/depart/neighborhood/toolindex.htm
The city has
implemented an "Interim Tree Ordinance", which limits the number of
trees that can be removed per year from 5 to 2, and bans the cutting of any
trees within 10 feet of the property line for new developments.
Laura Lee
suggested that the association buy a stone paver with our name on it to help
renovate the 1922 historic church on the Waverly site. Leslie Keller
made the motion, Eric Ruff seconded it, and the association voted to proceed
with buying it. "Moss Bay Neighborhood Assoc. Est. 1997" was
the suggested inscription.
It was suggested
and approved that we change the day of our meeting to the third Monday on the
odd numbered months.
The association
has received a gift of the services of a graphic designer to create a
logo. If you have ideas as to what it should look like, email Laura Lee
at lauraleepritt@hotmail.com or
send them her at 715 - 2nd St. Kirkland, WA 98033
At our January
meeting, we will be electing new officers.
We need ideas for
matching grant money for projects like picnics, newsletters, welcome packets,
neighborhood kiosk or park improvements.
Kari Page gave a
Powerpoint presentation concerning the Neighborhood Connections Program and
how we will spend our $25,000. Watch this space for an online version of
the information. About ten top suggestions have been selected so far,
including a new walkway or lights at Brink Park, money for art, or bump outs
on the the sidewalks of State Street.
The meeting was
adjourned and our next meeting will be Monday, January 20, 7PM, at the
Kirkland Teen Center.
