New Business – Board Membership Disqualification. xxx xxxx [name removed to protect individual's
privacy] has missed meetings since July 2006. [And] has not renewed membership or responded to mailings.
According to the By-laws we can now disqualify xxx as a member of the Board of Directors. Are there any motions
from the floor regarding this issue? Terrance Faulkner recommended that we go slowly on this. Robert Pender
recommended that we send a letter to xxx and wait until next month to make a determination of this after xxx has
had a chance to respond.
Involving more members – greater tenant focus at general membership meetings. Our recent meeting was
successful due to the format used by Lora Travelers and Arne Larsen. Daniel Phillips suggested we use a similar
format for all issues at any further General Meetings. Is there a motion from the floor regarding this issue? A
motion was made by Michele Miller and seconded by Robert Pender that a meeting segment of 15 minutes on
Safety Focus be a part of each General Meeting. Passed unanimously.
A discussion of the need to keep San Francisco State University students who live in Parkmerced informed of our
meetings and try to get them involved in Parkmerced activities. Daniel Phillips made a motion to determine if we
should place an add in the student Newsletter ([X]press) along with a membership application. Included in this
would be the expense involved. Motion seconded by Terrance Faulkner, passed unanimously.
Engraving Meeting: We have two engravers provided by David Chan. It is suggested that we organize an
engraving party for our fellow tenants. We can engrave items according to Mr. Chan’s suggestions. We would
announce this in the same way as a General Membership Meeting, but encourage non-members to get items
engraved also. We would also have our usual Membership and Recruitment tables with members of the board
directing traffic and getting guests oriented for the engravings. The California Drivers License is the ID# for
engraving.
Safety Committee Report: Michele Miller reported that there had been two neighborhood watch meetings during
the past month. Block 22 and Chumasero Towers are halfway to being organized. We need to contact
Parkmerced management on conflict issues. The goal for 2007 is training for the Neighborhood Emergency and
Rescue Training. Also, she reported that it is planned to have a block captain meeting in April.
A question of making donations to SAFE (Safety Awareness For Everyone) program was discussed. What can we
do and what will Parkmerced management do. Michele Miller made a motion that we initially make a donation of
$100 initially and additional contributions as blocks are organized. Seconded by Mike Smith, passed 9 approvals,
1 abstention.
Date of next meeting: It was decided that the next meeting will be Sunday, May 6,2007 at 1:30 PM -- 5 Josepha
