The residential parking zone #3 (here in Fauntleroy) is under review for update. The survey can be accessed from the West Seattle Blog.

There was a good turnout for the Food Fest and Annual meeting. The hall layout worked well, members got in easily, and there was a good flow of vendors and community service groups. The food was so good it was all eaten. It was moved and seconded that we send $500.00 to Tuxedos and Tennis shoes to defray the costs of set-up, clean-up and the waste free items.

We will follow up to our delinquent members with a copy of our annual report and a self addressed stamped envelope, so that they may bring their dues up to date.

Kim Petram reports that there will be a fund raiser at Endolyne Joe’s to benefit the Fall Festival on April 29th. Profits will go to the Fall Festival. Community input is requested for art projects with a community theme. Feet First is planning way finding kiosks around Seattle. Kim will meet with them to help design the Fauntleroy kiosks with a unifying community theme. Fauntleroy community members are also encouraged to pledge time to Feet First for implementation. A mural for the ferry bus terminal also must be planned.

Vicki Schmitz-Block reports that the Save Our School committee is on schedule. The next public meeting will be April 29 at 6:00. State Senator Joe McDermott has also been working to save community school buildings. The Fauntleroy Community Service Association is very optimistic about the acquisition of the Fauntleroy School building. FCA will supply labels to mail out meeting notices.

Seattle Land Use Planners held a sparsely attended meeting to get community input for updating Seattle’s Shoreline Master Program. Discussion included public access, natural resources, allowed uses, and future uses. Details available at their website http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/Planning/ShorelineMasterProgramUpdate/Overview/

Pictures taken at the annual meeting should be submitted to Martha Callard for the newsletter by April 25th. Articles should also be submitted as soon as possible. Mailing will be the first week of May, to promote the June meeting with the Police and Parks department.

SW District council- A motion was made to support the Feet First Way finding trails project. The motion was seconded and approved. A letter of support will be sent to help their grant request.

Ferry advisory committee- Gary Dawson reports that they are working on a long range plan for all ferry routes. Southworth may get a downtown passenger only boat if a boat becomes available. Right now there are no spare boats. The proposed Rapid Ride bus will have a stop at the Ferry terminal. And, the first house north of the dock was purchased by the county for the Cove Park sewer project. The sewer project is being delayed by lawsuits in another community, but the pumping station will be improved when that is settled.

The Cove Park Spring Clean is April 27th starting at 11:00.

FCA members are encouraged to visit Fauntleroy.net and bring comments to the May meeting.
