Fauntleroy Community Association Minutes May 12, 2009

The meeting was called to order at 7:10 by President Bruce Butterfield. In attendance were; Vicki Schmitz-Block, Gary Dawson, Martha Callard, Kathleen Dellplain, Vlad Oustimovitch, Brent Spraker, Martin Westerman, Seth Schromen-Wawrin of Feet First, and Ann Dunbar. The April minutes were accepted as written.

Updates – The Fall Festival Fundraiser at Endoline Joes raised over $1000.00. More than twenty people helped with the cleanup at Cove Park. The SNAP disaster preparedness meeting was lightly attended.

Martha Callard asked for volunteers for the Fall newsletter. We need a substitute editor for the fall newsletter, because Martha will be out of town. Any volunteers please call Martha at 932 3236. The Spring newsletter will be ready soon; a mailing party will be scheduled once the labels are printed. Guide lines are needed for future newsletter sponsors.

It was suggested that we do an outreach to the West Beach Condo residents for membership and participation.

Seth Schromen-Wawrin gave a presentation on the way finding project of Feet First. Feet First is a project to help pedestrians locate paths and attractions. There was some discussion of a name for the Fauntleroy School, Church, and YMCA area. Some suggestions were, Fauntleroy Center, Fauntleroy Heart, and Fauntleroy Campus. Fauntleroy School, Church, YMCA seemed the most informative. Seattle Department of Transportation will make the signs, ideas for content and art will also be welcome.

The Kenney Home project design meeting went well. The latest design lowers the profile of the new building and reuses an original building as office space. There are still issues with parking, and the shading of neighboring property.

The Joint FCA and FCSA meeting on the purchase of the Fauntleroy School went well. The funding for the purchase of the school is proceeding. A committee or chair for operating capital is needed. A new roof will be necessary soon.

Ferry Advisory – Plans A, B, and C have been rejected. There may be some stimulus money for new ferries, but no new docks. It is not likely that there will be any new routes.

Our website may be out of date. Copies of articles of incorporation and by laws should be posted on the website.
