Vote:  X Passed.  This motion passed unanimously. 

 

There was discussion whether some students live in the Highland NAC area but attend  high school at Southridge.    Action item:  Jeff will contact Beaverton High School and Southridge and get clarification whether there are Highland area students attending Southridge. 

 

HWY 217 TOLL LANES:  It was agreed that our NAC will not take a position regarding toll lanes on Hwy 217, but a person who participates in the NAC can take a position as an individual.

 

BCCI:  Craig Bass gave a report from BCCI.  

 

·       There will be a “fly-over” as well as a program at the Memorial Park in Beaverton at 11 am on 11/11 (Armistice Day).

 

·       There will be three emergency preparedness seminars scheduled for Beaverton residents by the City of Beaverton:

§       November 16, and 30, and December 8

 

·       There will be new recycle containers provided to Beaverton residents.  All

       recyclables (except glass) can go in one container.

 

MATCHING FUNDS FROM THE CITY:   The NAC can apply for matching funds from the City of Beaverton for a qualified project within the NAC area.  Action item:  Members of the NAC are asked to think of worthy projects that would benefit the neighborhood and be ready to discuss at the December meeting.   The project cannot be recurring.  Deadline for the matching funds application is January 27.

 

Action item:  Barbara Wilson will call Clean Water Services and inquire if permanent

rubberized labels could be put at storm water grates within the NAC indicating “Don’t dump waste here.”  If future plans include funneling storm water into regular sewage pipes for treatment, perhaps labeling at the grates is no longer necessary. 

 

Action item:   Barbara Wilson will call the city and ask about automatic sprinklers which run  in Griffith Park even if there is heavy rain.   Also, we need to have an understanding about automatic sprinklers at the Hart Circle Garden.   Sprinklers should not run in the winter time.
